Abstract:Aims & Objective: Wearing high heels regularly can lead to biomechanical issues, including tight calf muscles and shorter gastrocnemius muscle fascicles, which compromise musculoskeletal health, affect gait and balance, and heighten the risk of falls. This study compares the effects of two interventions, Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Dynamic Cupping Therapy (DCT), on flexibility, balance, and pain reduction in women who regularly wear high heels. Methods: Thirty female participa… Show more
