Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Transverse Friction Massage (TFM) in Latent Myofascial Trigger points (MTrP) is more effective making this technique in two different ways.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators divide in two groups. The investigators apply the TFM in similar way in both, but the investigators cause local twitch response (isolated contraction of muscle fibers containing the latent trigger points)just in one group. So the investigators want to know whether the effectiveness of this technique is due to those local twitch responses, comparing both groups. The investigators asses Strength, range of motion, and overall, pressure pain thresholds to evaluate the pain sensitivity progress.

isolated contractions caused

The investigators do TFM causing isolated contractions in de muscle fibers containing de latent trigger point.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Transverse friction massage (TFM)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The TFM was describe of Cyriax as an effective method to treat soft tissues. It is a massage done always in perpendicular direction of damage tissue. During the massage, we can caused isolated contractions from the fiber muscles containing the latent trigger points.
