DEFINITION : WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE? ETIOLOGY: > Low-level muscle contractions:Low-level muscle contractions involve a selective overload of the earliest recruited and last derecruited motor units (“Henneman’s size principle”). Smaller motor units are recruited before and derecruited after larger ones; as a result, the smaller type I fibers are continuously activated during prolonged motor tasks,…
