Summary

For professional footboll players, the balance, jumping, and performance capabilities of the plantar flexor muscle group are crucial on the field. Performance-enhancing interventions for these muscles are essential for improving player performance, preventing injuries, and accelerating the rehabilitation process. limitations and myofascial problems often occur in these muscles due to overuse and fatigue. Graston technique (GT), one of the instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization techniques (IASTM), is thought to be an effective method in sports rehabilitation by accelerating relaxation and blood flow. However, this situation has not been adequately examined in the literature. Therefore, we think that the results of this study will provide an important perspective to the literature.

Conditions

  • Myofascial Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization

In the study, the Graston device will be applied to the plantar flexor muscles of the patients. The medial and lateral gastarosoleus muscles and tendon will be applied deeply for 3 minutes, and the soleus muscle will be applied deeply for 90 seconds.
