Video Summary

Sanjana Davaluri, a second-year medical student, presents her project on the dose-response effect of Myofascial Release (MFR) on muscle physiology. The study involved 41 participants, focusing on variations in force and duration during MFR treatments. Using a Myoton Pro device, the study assessed muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity before and after treatment. Initial results show MFR decreases tone and stiffness significantly, even over clothing, although no significant changes in elasticity were observed. With current findings underpowered due to a small sample size, further research aims to solidify MFR's effectiveness for musculoskeletal pain.
