Fascial Manipulation Method Is Effective in the Treatment of Myofascial Pain, but the Treatment Protocol Matters: A Randomised Control Trial-Preliminary Report.

There are many therapeutic methods targeting fascia. However, the only method whose basic assumption is to eliminate the densification of fascia is Fascial Manipulation. To evaluate the effectiveness of various Fascial Manipulation (FM) protocols in reducing myofascial pain.

Assessment of the influence of global and local exercises on core stabilization mechanisms: randomized controlled trial.

Background: Over the last few years, various concepts of applying core stabilization mechanisms in the formation of human motor function have come to existence. The objective of the research was to assess the influence of two types of core stability training on deep abdominal muscle thickness and on global trunk mobility.

Methods: The study involved 108 individuals divided into 3 groups: LT (local training), performing the stability training based on locally isolated work of the transversus abdominis muscle; GT (global training), performing the training based on global movement patterns; and CG (control group), who did not undergo the training.
