“…In total, only two studies investigated the long-term effects of a repeated floss band application on the range of motion of different joints. Wienke et al (2020) investigated the effects of a flossing treatment in 12 patients with shoulder pain. In addition to the conventional therapy, the subjects received shoulder flossing treatment twice a week, and the range of motion of the shoulder was assessed before and after the treatment over 3 weeks.…”

“…Moreover, a further controlled study (Wienke et al, 2020) investigated the effects of a flossing treatment in 12 patients (six intervention/six control) with shoulder pain. The subjects of the intervention group received shoulder flossing twice a week, whereas the control group received a "sham" flossing treatment.…”

“…Galis and Cooper (2020) reported some adverse effects in the high-pressure group (200 mmHg) compared to the low-pressure group (150 mmHg) in both the range of motion and strength outcome and therefore concluded that tighter does not automatically mean better. Even worse, one study reported harmful effects, e.g., violent pain, changes in the color of the skin, hematoma, or numbness, in participants who received a floss band treatment on the shoulder (Wienke et al, 2020). Thus, it is strongly suggested not only in future studies but also in sport practice to monitor the possible harmful effects due to a floss band application.…”

Effects of Tissue Flossing on the Healthy and Impaired Musculoskeletal System: A Scoping Review

There is a belief that tissue flossing can improve the range of motion or performance, speed up recovery, and decrease the pain caused by various diseases or injuries. As a result, many therapists, patients, and athletes are now using this technique. Consequently, in the last 5 years, a number of studies have addressed these assumptions. The purpose of this scoping review is to introduce the application of a floss band and to summarize the existing evidence for the effect of floss band treatment on the range of motion, performance, recovery, and pain (due to disease or injuries). A further goal is to suggest what needs to be addressed in future studies. The online search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Any studies dealing with the effects of a floss band treatment on the range of motion, performance, recovery, or pain parameters in any population (e.g., patients, athletes) were included in this review. Twenty-four studies met the inclusion criteria, with a total of 513 participants. The included studies revealed that there is evidence that a single floss band treatment is able to increase the range of motion of the related joint and can positively affect jumping and strength performance. However, these findings show only small to moderate effect sizes. Although not yet clearly understood, a possible mechanism for such changes in the range of motion or performance is likely due to changed neuromuscular function, rather than changed mechanical properties, of the muscle (e.g., stiffness). All in all, there is a need to conduct long-term studies about the effects of flossing treatment on the range of motion and performance (e.g., strength or jumping parameters) and its related mechanism (e.g., pain tolerance). There is weak evidence that flossing can be of value for pain relief in the treatment of certain diseases and for speeding up recovery after exercise. Moreover, there is weak evidence that flossing might have a superior conditioning (warm-up) effect compared to stretching when the goal is to improve the range of motion or certain aspects of muscle strength, while no such superior effect has been reported when compared to foam rolling.

Context: Flossing is still a relatively new technique that has yielded varied results in the research literature; therefore, it requires further investigation. Previous research has shown that thigh tissue flossing might improve performance in countermovement jump, sprint time, maximum voluntary contraction, and rate of force development. Design: The present study aims to investigate the effect of the floss band on performance during the Wingate test (30-WAT), muscle oxygen saturation (SpO2), and total hemoglobin in vastus lateralis. Methods: Twenty-two students of physical education and sport (11 men and 11 women) were randomly selected to complete either the Wingate test with the application of a floss band in warm-up or the Wingate test without the use of a floss band, followed by the alternative 24 hours apart. Results: Throughout the testing, the floss band did not affect performance values during the Wingate test (relative peak power, relative average power, and fatigue index). However, there was a medium to large effect difference during 1 minute prior to 30-WAT (PRE), during the 30-WAT, and 10-minute recovery (REC) in values of SpO2 and total hemoglobin. Use of floss band displayed a higher SpO2 during PRE, 30-WAT, and REC by ∼13.55%, d < 2; ∼19.06%, d = 0.89; and ∼8.55%, d = 0.59, respectively. Conclusion: Collectively, these findings indicate that the application of thigh flossing during warm-up has no effect on 30-WAT performance; however, SpO2 was significantly increased in all stages of testing. This could lead to potential improvement in repeated anaerobic exercise due to increased blood flow. Increased muscle oxygen saturation can also lead to improved tissue healing as oxygen supply is essential for tissue repair, wound healing, and pain management.
