Summary

Athletic training and sports participation is to enhance athletic performance. Performance is however multifactorial i.e., depending upon several parameters including warm-up practice, training regimes and other interventions. Stretching techniques that focus on increasing posterior shoulder soft tissue flexibility are commonly incorporated into prevention and treatment programs for the overhead athletes. GIRD is usually managed by stretching and soft tissue release of posterior shoulder capsule. Fascial manipulation is a manual therapy technique used in the management of musculoskeletal disorders. This study aims to evaluate the comparative effects of cross fiber fascial manipulation with stretching techniques in overhead throwing athletes

Conditions

  • Overhead Throwing Athletes
  • Tennis Players, Bowlers, Volleyball Players

Interventions

OTHER

cross fiber fascial manipulation

The group A received three sessions of fascial manipulation in two weeks. FM applied for 5 to 8 minutes at each point.

OTHER

stretching techniques(sleeper stretch and cross body adduction stretch)

Group B received three sessions of sleeper and cross body adduction stretches. Group B received three sessions of sleeper stretch in a side lying position in 90o abduction, elbow at 90o flexion and then performing shoulder IR and cross-body adduction stretch was done in sitting position. Three sets of the each stretch position were held for 30 seconds with a 1 minute break between sets.
