Abstract

Abstract. Early sports specialization, increased professional load, technical complexity of motor elements, lack of adequate means of rehabilitation in the training process have become the main triggers in the emergence of MNPS. The aim of the study was to study the mechanisms of development, clinical manifestations and development of the etiological system of treatment of cervical myofascial pain in the absence of actual organic pathology of the spine. Promising treatment is the use of reflexology. Effects of reflexology: analgesia, psychiatric (depression, sedation), nutrition, recovery, muscle relaxation. Conclusions: Athletes are mainly characterized by pain in the muscles that provide static work, as well as different options for the distribution of MNPS, depending on the sport. The upper and lower extremities are involved in performing active motor functions characteristic of sports. In general, local symptoms of pain were observed in 52.5% of athletes, and common - in 40.6%. At the same time, MNPS was most common in 63.4% of cases of cervical wrestlers and 58.4% of cases of lumbosacral region; in athletes, the development of myofascial disorders increases the bioelectrical activity of muscles at rest; Athletes with common symptoms have reduced control processes in the central nervous system [1]. It is characterized by an increase in multisynaptic reflex excitability at the level of the brain stem; emotional disorders in athletes in the presence of myofascial pain are characteristic in the presence of the third stage of the pathological process; the occurrence of general symptoms of MNPS according to the study leads to an increase in the average time of sensorimotor response, deterioration of motor processes and increased fatigue when performing a series of tests; MNPS treatment, which includes reflexology and PIR programs based on clinical and instrumental studies, significantly improves the athlete's condition during 12 months of follow-up.
