(1) Background: The stiffness of the posterior shoulder muscles has been shown to be
related to shoulder pain and range of motion (ROM) restriction in athletes. Specifically, the …

Background Latent and active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in knee-associated muscles
may play a key role in pain management among patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The …

Objective To compare the effects of dry needling or manual pressure release on an active
trigger point in the upper trapezius on craniocervical flexion test performance, pressure pain …

Introduction Myofascial pain is a complex health condition that affects the majority of the
general population. Myalgia has been recognized as a symptom of long COVID syndrome …

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of dry needling (DN) intervention on the
responses of muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity, as well as power, pressure pain …
