Abstract
Introduction: Despite its high prevalence, the etiology and the nature of chronic low back pain (CLBP) have not yet been fully understood. It has been suggested that soft tissues such as thoracolumbar fascia (Langevin et al 2011; Schleip & Klingler 2008) and other lumbar muscles might be related to LBP (Borg-Stein & Wilkins 2006; DeFranca & Levine 1991). Myofascial Release (MFR) is a form of manual treatment widely used by physiotherapists in the management of different musculoskeletal pathologies (Barnes 1990). No previous studies have reported the effects of an isolated MFR treatment in patients with CLBP. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of an isolated MFR protocol on pain, disability, and fear-avoidance beliefs in patients with CLBP.
