Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Dry Needling

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dry Needling

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Dry needling is a treatment that healthcare providers use for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. With this technique, a provider inserts thin needles into or near your trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch

Cross Friction Massage

Group Type OTHER

Cross Friction Massage

Intervention Type OTHER

Cross friction massage breaks down scar tissue and remodels the tissue into more flexible, pliable, and functional, healthy soft tissue. Also known as transverse friction massage, this technique is a deep tissue massage technique performed at the site of injury
