AI Article Synopsis
- Tissue flossing is an emerging technique used by sports medicine professionals to enhance myofascial mobility, joint range of motion (ROM), and athletic performance while also helping to reduce pain.
- Although its use is growing, there is no agreed-upon clinical guideline for implementing tissue flossing in practice.
- The commentary aims to propose recommendations for its use and encourages further collaboration among professionals and researchers to establish best practices.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Tissue flossing is an emerging myofascial intervention used by sports medicine professionals with a growing body of research evidence. Sports medicine professionals may use tissue flossing to increase myofascial mobility, improve joint ROM, enhance athletic performance, and reduce pain. Despite the increasing use, there is no consensus on clinical practice recommendations for this intervention. The purpose of this commentary is to discuss proposed clinical practice recommendations for tissue flossing and to encourage sports medicine professionals and researchers to contribute their expertise to further develop best practices.
Level Of Evidence: 5.

Tissue flossing involves wrapping a rubber band around a muscle group for a few minutes while performing joint motion, enhancing ankle joint torque and range of motion. As limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and plantar flexion muscle weakness are risk factors for sports injury, assessing the therapeutic effects of tissue flossing is important. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effects of calf tissue flossing on enhancing ankle joint torque and dorsiflexion range of motion.
