Introduction Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral Professional sports, including athletics, may lead to injuries during training sessions with regard to jurisdictional claims in and competitions. Physical training requires repetitively executing a particular act, which published maps and institutional affil- may lead to overstraining. The risk of overstraining increases in top-tier athletes since iations. competing at the highest levels does not only require a rigorous training schedule but is also associated with pressure from the trainer, and the drive to achieve very high performance. Myofascial injuries continue to be very common among athletes [1]. Injuries in athletes are most commonly associated with cumulative microtrauma, which leads to Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. musculoskeletal strain. The disorders most commonly reported in the literature are the Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral pain syndrome, ‘shin splints’, Achilles tendonitis, This article is an open access article and plantar fasciitis [1,2]. According to some authors, one important factor in developing distributed under the terms and pain due to overstraining is the formation of the so-called ‘trigger points’, which may cause conditions of the Creative Commons a pain that progressively intensifies with muscle tension and radiates to other regions Attribution (CC BY) license (https:// of the body, irritating the fascia and subcutaneous tissue [3].

However, it is not entirely clear if the presence of myofascial trigger points should define myofascial syndrome [4]. Most injuries in athletes are due to overstrain and excessive myofascial tension, hence the importance of fasciae in treatment and prevention efforts in this group. A fascia, composed of a variety of intertwined collagen fibers of varied thickness, is a type of internal connective tissue divided into three layers: superficial layer, potential space layer, and deep layer [5–7]. Because fibers of the fascia run in many directions, it can change with the surrounding tissues. The fascia is considered to be one continuous piece of tissue that functions in linked “chains” to create a tonus in the body [8]. The function of individual fascial components ensures the body’s integrity. This may involve controlling the orientation of muscle fibers by reflecting the force vector and facili- tating a smooth resolution of muscle tension [9,10]. Apart from their protective function and ensuring adequate gliding of adjacent structures, fasciae play a role in neurosensory mechanisms and are closely associated with the autonomic nervous system, all of which help maintain balance [6,11,12]. The structure and histological anatomy of myofascial tissue shows “tensegritive” properties. They enable the transfer of gravity, creating a structure capable of supporting body weight and significantly reducing the neuromuscular effort required to maintain the center of mass [13,14]. When controlling posture, the fascia acts as a kind of spring without hysteresis and plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and supporting an upright posture [13,14]. The role of fascia (which is made up of connective tissue) is not only to transfer the strain generated by training but also to accumulate energy. This is achieved by fascial elasticity [12]. The role of fasciae in maintaining balance is associated with the phenomenon of proprioception. Fascial tissue is rich in proprioceptors, which allow it to detect stimuli from the external environment and control motor responses by initiating the movement or tensing of tissues. This helps in being aware of the position of individual parts of the body in space even without visual control [15]. Fasciae control entire muscle chains, e.g., the bi-layered fascia of the large muscles of the torso is continuous with the deep fasciae of the lower limbs; also, the connective tissue of the latissimus dorsi muscle is continuous with that of the gluteus maximus muscle [16]. Fascial therapy plays an important role in ensuring the normal functioning of the body. Currently, many publications have emphasized the more active role of connections due to the innate ability to contract actively. From their clinical experiences, manual therapists also have observed changes in the tension of the fascia in response to its manipulation [17,18]. Static and dynamic strains, inappropriately selected physical activity, long-term stress, injuries, or immobilization may alter the connective tissue structure. Piezoelectric dis- charges generated by long-lasting shortening or excessive stretching of a muscle stimulate fibroblasts to overproduction of collagen, which leads to muscular band thickening, re- duced elasticity, and dysfunction. These, in turn, lead to diminished muscle strength, connective tissue adhesiveness (densification), and increased muscle soreness [3,19,20]. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a single fascial therapy session on the balance and body weight distribution between the lower limbs in professional athletes following lower limb soft-tissue injury. 2. Materials and Methods The study assessments were conducted at a laboratory of Physiotherapy for Mus- culoskeletal Functional Disorders, University School of Physical Education in Wrocław, in the years 2018 and 2019. The study group comprised 41 athletes, specifically runners, of both sexes (26 men and 15 women) from the Poland National Team, with a history of an incident involving lower limb soft tissues, particularly the quadriceps femoris muscle. The study groups had an acute lower limb soft-tissue injury and a training experience (in running) of at least 2 years. The study inclusion criteria were history of a lower limb muscle injury 7–8 weeks prior to the study, no lower limb surgery for at least 9 months previously, a minimum of 12 weeks after the completion of treatment for any other lower Symmetry 2021, 13, 1586 3 of 12 limb injuries, no lower limb length discrepancy, and no neurological, cardiological, or psychiatric disorders.

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world.

The fascia is manipulated, directly or indirectly, allowing the connective tissue fibers to reorganize themselves in to a more flexible, functional fashion. The purpose of the myofascial release is to release restrictions (barriers) within the deeper layers of fascia. This is accomplished by a stretching of the muscular elastic component of the fascia, along with the crosslink, and changing the viscosity of the ground substance of the fascia. Evidence shows that MFR is safe, effective and designated to be utilized with appropriate modalities, mobilization, exercise and flexibility programs, neurodevelopment treatment (NDT), sensory integration and movement therapy. Key words: MFR, fascia, flexibility INTRODUCTION Muscle and fascia are united forming the myofascial system.

    Exclusive Interview with John Barnes - Part 2 John Barnes Part II Founder of Myofascial Release By Robert Calvert Reprinted from Massage, Issue Number 42, March/April 1993 The following is the second in a two-part interview with John Barnes P.T., the founder of the myofascial release technique. The first part of the interview appeared in the Jan./Feb. 1993 issue. As the last interview left off, Barnes talked about how his occasional seminars became a full-time venture. During the interview, John Barnes worked the entire time on Judi Calvert, who occasionally commented about the work he was doing. How long did it take before these occasional seminars turned into a real job? You must have done several years of teaching there in the locality? Barnes: “No, I immediately started going around the country.” Primarily marketing to physical therapists? Barnes: “Initially it was to PTs, physicians and dentists, TMJ specialists. Back in those days, I had not had much experience with massage therapists.” Judi: “I can tell that you’re a very persistent man in what you believe in just by you working on me right now. You haven’t given up. You haven’t let go of this area that you’re working on. You just move around, unwind, go in, move around, just go with it, but you don’t let go and you just keep the pressure on steady and it shows in your character.” Barnes: “I think we talked about challenge before and maybe it’s a blind spot I have, but it never occurs to me that if I’ve decided I want to do something that it can’t be done.

    A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN SELF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE AND EMMETT TECHNIQUE EFFECTIVENESS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF FASCIAL (ILIOTIBIAL BAND) TIGHTNESS Victoria Sharp BSc (Hons) 2012 ! ! ! ! DISSERTATION DECLARATION I hereby declare that with effect from the date on which the dissertation is deposited in the library of Stranmillis University College, I permit the Librarian to allow the dissertation to be copied in part or in whole without reference to me on the understanding that such authority applies to single copies for purposes of research and private study and normal conditions of acknowledgement are followed. Signed: Date: An investigation of the comparison between Self myofascial release and Emmett technique for effectiveness in the management of fascial (iliotibial band) tightness This study is submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the BSc (Hons) Degee of Queen’s University, Belfast Victoria Sharp College No. 40035717 Stranmillis University College May 2012 ! ABSTRACT The term ‘myofascial release’ encompasses various techniques used to release fascial restrictions, which may cause neuromusculoskeletal pathology. The iliotibial band has been well documented to be a common site of overuse injury, especially in runners. The purpose of the randomised study was to assess which intervention releases myofascial restriction most effectively: The foam rolling technique (SMR) or the application of emmett technique. For expediency it deals only with the iliotibial band. 15 male semi professional rugby union players were randomly assigned to 3 groups (Emmett: n =5, SMR: n=5, Control: n =5) examine whether foam rolling or emmett technique was a more effective method for releasing myofascial restriction of the iliotibial band.
