Researchers from Brazil have uncovered intriguing findings about how manipulating the plantar fascia, can relieve pain in mice. In the study, mice with induced inflammation received plantar fascia manipulation treatments for varying durations. Following the treatment, the mice displayed a significant reduction in pain sensitivity, which was measured by their response to mechanical stimuli. The

Eccentric exercise, compared to concentric exercise, leads to various physiological changes such as altered neuromotor strategies, actin-myosin interactions, and greater cortical activation, but often results in muscle damage and inflammation. The deep fascia, particularly the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), plays a significant role in these processes, especially in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DOMS typically peaks
