Treatments
Experimental: DEEP TRANSVERSE FRICTION MASSAGE
Deep friction massage (DFM), also known as cross friction massage, is a specific connective tissue massage
Experimental: INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUES
ASTM techniques involve the use of specialized instruments to manipulate soft tissue structures. These instruments are designed to provide an efficient detection of soft tissue dysfunction and accurate application of force during treatment.
