Background The fascial system not only enables the body to operate in an integrated
manner but modifies its tension in response to the stress on it. Recent animal, cadaveric and …

Background: The fascial system provides an environment that enables all body systems to
operate in an integrated manner and is capable of modifying its tensional state in response …

Recent reviews of current research into the use of Myofascial Release (MFR)(Leahy and
Mock, 1992; Manheim, 2008)-also described in many studies as Myofascial Induction …

Introduction Myofascial release (MFR) is a form of manual therapy that involves the
application of a low load, long duration stretch to the myofascial complex, intended to restore …

Two pathways are available for such transmission:• Directly between two adjacent muscles
(by definition occurring exclusively within a muscle group: synergistic muscles). We call this …

Over the past 20-30 years, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of the
connective components within the human musculoskeletal system. The term" fascia" and …

The present review aims to provide a systematic overview on tensile transmission along
myofascial chains based on anatomical dissection studies and in vivo experiments …

Background Numerous techniques have been employed to treat myofascial pain syndrome.
Self-myofascial release (SMFR) is a relatively new technique of soft tissue mobilization. The …
