New Insights from Research on Stretching

The fascinating connection between fascia, muscle flexibility, and its response to stretching exercises has been the subject of scientific inquiry. In this article, we delve into two separate recently-published review studies  that shed light on this relationship. The first study focuses on the chronic effects of static stretching on muscle strength, power, and flexibility. The

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment Influences Muscle Tone and Biomechanics

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect a large portion of the population, causing significant burdens and discomfort. These disorders have been linked to changes in human resting muscle tone (HRMT). Osteopathic manipulative treatment has emerged as an effective approach to managing musculoskeletal pain, with claims that it can influence HRMT. However, the evidence for this claim, even
