“…52 Passive therapy may achieve its benefits by means of secretion of hormones as a result of mechanoreceptor stimulation, reducing pain symptoms, improving blood circulation by removing chemical mediators of inflammation from the pathologic area, and decreasing nociceptive sensitivity, leading to pain relief and increasing PPT. 48,[53][54][55][56] Other studies, considering the evaluation criteria, reported similar results as those in the present study. 22,48,[52][53][54]57,58…”

“…Additionally, Renu Pattanshetty et al compared the immediate effects of myofascial release technique, PRT, and passive stretching on pain responses, ankle dorsiflexion, and plantar flexion in chronic plantar fasciitis after a single treatment session. Although all groups showed a significant decrease in pain, similar to the present study, ROM improvement in the PRT group was less significant than other treatments (6). Moreover, Doley et al investigated the effect of PRT and deep transverse friction massage on the gluteus medius trigger points.…”

Background: Positional release therapy (PRT) has been suggested as an effective treatment for myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Considering the mechanism of PRT, a new modified technique, known as Manual Passive Muscle Shortening (MPMS), is introduced for the treatment of MTrPs. Objectives: To compare the effects of MPMS and PRT on the sensitivity of latent MTrPs in the upper trapezius and determine the active cervical lateral flexion range. Methods: In this double-blind randomized controlled trial, 30 female university students, who were identified with latent MTrPs of the upper trapezius, were recruited from Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran. The participants were randomly allocated into experimental (n, 15) and control (n, 15) groups. The experimental group was treated with the MPMS technique, while the control group received PRT. The participants took part in 3 treatment sessions, as well as a follow-up session 1 week after the third session. During each session, the second physiotherapist, who was blind to the pretreatment information, applied the appropriate technique. The visual analogue scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT), and bilateral active range of cervical lateral flexion were recorded to assess the effects of treatment. The first physiotherapist, who was blind to the treatment approach for the participants, recorded the outcomes before treatment, during the first session, after treatment (third session), and in the follow-up. Results: A total of 30 participants were included in the data analysis. In the follow-up, intergroup changes indicated a significant increase in PPT (P = 0.000), a significant decrease in VAS scores (P = 0.002), and a significant increase in the right lateral flexion (P = 0.012) in the experimental group. Left lateral flexion also increased in this group, although it was not statistically significant (P = 0.254). At the end of the study, there were no significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: According to the results, both MPMS and PRT were effective techniques in immediate pain relief of upper-trapezius MTrPs. Therefore, MPMS may be used as a new technique in the treatment of MTrPs.

“…31 Distinct patients who were billed for 1 or more of these 3 CPT codes were counted only once in comprehensive rehabilitation program, is more effective in reducing pressure pain thresholds and improving function in patients with PF when compared to comparative interventions. 1,7,20,23,26 Despite the growth of evidence for MT and supervised rehabilitation in recent years, practice patterns often lag behind published evidence. 15 This gap between evidence and practice is multifactorial and may be attributed to a clinician's access to the evidence, 15,27 difficulty appraising the evidence, 15,27 interest and perceived role in utilizing evidence, 27 and poor self-efficacy due to lack of training or comfort level with searching, analyzing, and implementing evidence.…”

7% of all patients in the database. Only 7.1% (95% confidence interval: 7.0%, 7.1%) of patients received a physical therapist evaluation. Of the 57 800 patients evaluated by a physical therapist (59.8% female), 50 382 (87.2% ± 0.4%) received manual therapy, with significant increases in utilization per annum. A large proportion (89.5% ± 0.4%) received rehabilitation following physical therapist evaluation. T t CONCLUSION:Despite plantar fasciitis being a frequently occurring musculoskeletal condition, a small proportion of patients with plantar fasciitis were seen by physical therapists. Most patients who were evaluated by a physical therapist received manual therapy and a course of supervised rehabilitation as part of their plan of care. T t LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Treatment, level 2a.
