OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) vs integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, neck disability, and electrophysiological properties in nonspecific chronic neck pain. METHODS: We performed a pre-post prospective randomized controlled trial on 90 participants with nonspecific chronic neck pain. The participants were chosen randomly from physical therapy out-patient clinics in the Giza governorate and allocated randomly by permuted block to the following 3 groups: Group A received INIT on the upper trapezius in addition to supervised traditional therapy (STT) as hot pack, stretching and strengthening exercises, Group B received IASTM on the upper trapezius in addition to STT, and Group C received STT only...

BACKGROUND: The association between hamstring tightness and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is significant because tight hamstrings can put more strain on the knee joint, reduce its range of motion, and cause compensatory movements that worsen the KOA. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and proprioceptive neuromuscular (PNF) on hamstring flexibility in patients with KOA. METHODS: Data for the randomized controlled trial (NCT05110326) was collected from n  = 60 participants randomly divided into group A received IASTM and group B received PNF stretching...

Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can impede physical function and mobility. Current management often involves pain medication, but there is a need for non-pharmacological and non-invasive interventions. Soft tissue manipulation (STM), such as massage, has been shown to be effective in human subjects, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these findings are not well understood. In this paper, we evaluated potential changes in the soft tissue levels of more than thirty pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines following instrument-assisted STM (IASTM) in rats with chronic, induced LBP using Complete Freund's Adjuvant...

BACKGROUND: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a prevalent sports injury that affects athletes both in their daily lives and during training. This condition causes pain in the area where the kneecap and thigh bone meet, and it can be quite debilitating. Whether an athlete is simply going about their day or pushing themselves to the limit during a workout, patellofemoral pain can be a significant hindrance. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of combining Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) treatment with blood flow restriction training on individuals with patellofemoral pain...

BACKGROUND: Active myofascial trigger points (TrPs) often occur in the upper region of the upper trapezius (UT) muscle. These TrPs can be a significant source of neck, shoulder, and upper back pain and headaches. These TrPs and their related pain and disability can adversely affect an individual's everyday routine functioning, work-related productivity, and general quality of life. AIM: To investigate the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) vs extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on the TrPs of the UT muscle...

Fifth metatarsal fractures are common foot injuries that involve the long bone on the outer side of the foot, and avulsion fractures involving the short bone and the fifth distal phalanx of the foot have never been reported. A 25-year-old female marathon runner sustained an avulsion fracture of the distal lateral phalanges of the fifth metatarsal. The patient's high functional demands necessitated a conservative approach to minimize complications and facilitate efficient fracture healing. The patient underwent a comprehensive chiropractic rehabilitation program that focused on progressive weight-bearing exercises, range-of-motion activities, strengthening exercises, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), therapeutic ultrasound, and laser therapy to stimulate the speed of healing...
