Summary
This case study aimed to visualize the alteration of the deep fascia in a 40-year-old male with subacute pain in the calf area using ultrasound and elastography.
The study demonstrated that ultrasound and elastography allowed the visualization of gliding, echogenicity, and elasticity of the deep fascia and how these characteristics changed following manual therapy, specifically Fascial Manipulation©.
This research suggests that ultrasound and elastography could provide a more objective understanding of the sensations often reported by manual therapists, potentially assisting clinicians in diagnosing myofascial pain.
