Myofascial Reorganization on Performance, and Biomechanical, Viscoelastic, and Thermographic Properties of Athletes

It is a manual technique in which the therapist applies a manual sustained oblique load of 45° with subsequent shear load. In general, the technique is divided into two stages, the first when the oblique load is accompanied by a passive shear load (applied by the therapist) during 1minute, and the second stage, when the shear oblique manual load is maintained but the shear load provoked by the participants' active movement (active shear load) during 1minute.

it is light touch to the skin applied by the therapist, without provoking compression, or any constant or shear load during the fist minute. In the second minute, the participant adds active movements to the light touch. This two stage (each one during 1minute) is constructed to mimic the passive and the active stages of the real myofascial reorganization technique.
