Fitting myofascial release into an evidence‑based culture

"Myofascial release" and "evidence-based" are phrases that are seldom spoken together. Papers exist telling us how and why myofascial release (MFR) is not an evidence-based treatment model/modality. In today's therapeutic culture, one that demands that we work from evidence-based perspectives, it is at time difficult to find much in manual therapy that appears to meet the test. I believe MFR suffers from such doubts more than many other similar modalities due to some dubious and outlandish claims made over the past generation which further tarnished it reputation.I recently wrote an article for Multibriefs that comments on these topics and I would like to share it with you. As always, comments are welcome.
