Improving the quality of myofascial release research – A critical appraisal of systematic reviews

Myofascial release (MFR) is a form of manual therapy that involves the application of a low load, long duration stretch to the myofascial complex intended to restore optimal length, decrease pain and improve function. MFR is being used to treat patients with a wide variety of conditions with favourable evidence supporting its efficacy. Critical appraisal of the recent research trials or reviews will be a better way to improve the quality and reliability of future works in this field.
