Can manual therapy alter the thoracolumbar fascia?

To believe that manual therapy cannot affect the structure of thoracolumbar fascia is to deny the fundamental characteristic of soft tissue known as creep!

self-care exercise for plantar fasciitis

What are the self-care and medical approaches to plantar fasciitis?

For the long term treatment of plantar fasciitis, the underlying cause of the overpronation (collapsed arch structure), if present, must be addressed.

Rolling the lateral thigh can help the client with iliotibial band friction syndrome

Self-care and medical approaches to iliotibial band friction syndrome

Self-care for iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) begins with RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. And offending activities should be avoided.

Manual therapy for iliotibial band friction syndrome would likely include massage and stretching the lateral thigh

How do we treat iliotibial band friction syndrome with manual therapy?

Manual therapy for iliotibial band friction syndrome is directed toward reducing the inflammation of the condition and correcting its underlying cause.
