Abstract
Fascial Manipulation® (FM) is a manual therapy approach for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Anomalous fascial tension is common following surgery due to surgical scar, inadequate mobility and fear of movement. Fascial tension may result in pain and loss of mobility. This case report aims at investigating the effectiveness of FM® on pain and function in a patient following knee surgery. A 32 years old male patient, with persisting knee pain following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (hamstring graft) and meniscal repair, underwent the systematic FM® assessment process, the selected centers of coordination of myofascial units were treated. Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire was obtained prior treatment and after 4 treatment sessions. Results showed clinically significant improvements in all subscales of KOOS after 4 weeks, the effect was maintained in subsequent follow-ups at 3 months, 6 months, one year and two years.
