Summary

This research aims to verify the effect of therapy called "tissue flossing" on the range of motion and examine the impact of this treatment on the Superficial fascial backline, described by Myers. The research aims to verify whether the thick rubber bands used to create a certain degree of compression in a predetermined part of the musculoskeletal system can help to increase the range of motion (ROM) and whether this increase in motion can be achieved by influencing fascial chains even in distant parts of the musculoskeletal system, outside the primary therapeutic zone treated by the tissue flossing method. The research aims to verify and especially compare the patient's joints' range of motion before and immediately after the tissue flossing treatment. The results of the experiment clarify the influence of the tissue flossing therapy method on the range of motion at the application site, on the range of motion in other joints within the Superficial fascial backline described by Myers and last but not least to prove the existence of these fascial chains in the human body.
