Interventions

OTHER

Myofascial release

Graston massage technique was used in the application. In the application, the participant was placed in a prone position and the feet were left slightly outside the massage table. The application was performed on the entire plantar surface between the calcaneal tuberosity and metatarsophalangeal joints in the form of multidirectional strokes at 30-60 degrees with the GT 4 graston tool. The total application took an average of 5 minutes for each foot. An average of 60-70 strokes were performed per minute and 10 seconds of rest was given every minute. The application was performed as a single session by an expert physiotherapist.
