Sport injury prevention in individuals with chronic ankle instability: Fascial Manipulation versus control group: A randomized controlled trial.

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is one of the most common syndromes that occurs following an initial ankle sprain. Sprains are often correlated with recurrent sprains, loss of range of motion (ROM) and deficits in proprioception and postural control. The objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness of Fascial Manipulation (FM) as a preventative measure in semi-professional athletes with CAI, and to monitor the symptomatology, equilibrium and ROM of the injured ankle.

Fascial Manipulation for persistent knee pain following ACL and meniscus repair.

Fascial Manipulation (FM) is a manual therapy approach for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Anomalous fascial tension is common following surgery due to surgical scar, inadequate mobility and fear of movement. Fascial tension may result in pain and loss of mobility.

Fascial Manipulation Associated With Standard Care Compared to Only Standard Postsurgical Care for Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Postsurgical physiotherapy programs after total hip arthroplasty (THA) show important differences between types and numbers of treatment sessions. To increase functional recovery in postsurgical patients, manual therapy can be added to traditional physiotherapy programs. Fascial manipulation (FM) has been demonstrated to be effective in decreasing pain and increasing muscular capacity.
