Observations on the Therapeutic Efficacy of Biomimetic Physiotherapy Combined with Manipulation Therapy in Managing Myofascial Pelvic Pain Syndrome in Women
CONCLUSIONS: Biomimetic physiotherapy plus manipulation therapy demonstrated enhanced pelvic floor muscle contractility, reduced subjective pain and pelvic floor myofascial tenderness, improved synergic movement, increased muscle fatigue resistance, and alleviated muscle spasms. This combined approach proved to be effective in the treatment of female MPPS.PMID:38639618 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Severe fibromyalgia alleviated by the unique muscle relaxation method of applying low force: A case report
Medicine (Baltimore). 2024 Apr 19;103(16):e37929. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000037929.ABSTRACTRATIONALE: Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by idiopathic persistent chronic pain in the ligaments or musculoskeletal system, and more than half of the patients with FM might have migraine headaches. Direct musculoskeletal intervention could be a non-pharmacological management to relieve symptoms. However, patients with severe FM often have intense pain from only a soft touch, thereby rendering musculoskeletal intervention challenging.PATIENT CONCERNS: A 47-year-old man had progressing intense pain, and this affected his everyday l...
