Abstract
Introduction: Alteration of mechanical coordination, proprioception, balance, and myofascial pain have been shown to be related to tissue restriction or densification in the deep fascia and epimysium (Stecco et al 2011). Hydration has been reported to be necessary for fascial pliability (Schleip et al 2012). Nevertheless, these two key favorable properties act as a matrix of their own in forming a layer which determines the fascial layer sliding to be either smooth or restricted. Aqua-Fascial Release (AqFR) is a new and innovative manual therapy technique encompassing superficial and deep manual fascial release (MFR) underwater. The objective of the study was to test the effectiveness of MFR performed underwater versus on land for pain and dysfunction of the Tensor Fascia Latae (TFL) and Iliotibial Band (ITB).
