Abstract
Range of motion (ROM) is the specific movement of a joint- measured in degrees. It is important to know techniques to apply that will give people the best ROM. With myofascial release (MFR), the object is to fix muscular restrictions while ROM is restored. Reestablishing ROM after pathology is essential for activities of daily living or athletics. Studies have discovered that MFR interventions were effective in reducing hamstring tightness versus no treatment on hamstrings.
