Effect of pelvic floor fascial mobilization on pelvic floor dysfunction in multiparous pregnant women - A randomized pilot study.

Background: Pelvic floor fascial mobilization (PFFM) is an innovative intravaginal and/or intrarectal manual therapy technique developed to treat pelvic distress by improving fascial gliding and muscle function.

Hip and groin pain in a cyclist resolved after performing a pelvic floor fascial mobilization.

We present herein, a 32 year old male professional cyclist, exhibiting right hip and groin pain during cycling and prolonged sitting. The pain commenced after the patient suffered a right hip severe contusion in 2013 causing a tear in the tensor fascia lata and gluteus medius muscle.
