The subject of my most recent case report is: Can myofascial release increase cervical forward flexion?
This client was in an accident several years ago. She suffered a head injury and still has headaches (mostly on the top of her head) and difficulty flexing her chin toward her chest.
The plan is for the subject to rate her pain on a scale of 1-10. I will then measure the ROM pre-treatment, apply myofascial release to the appropriate muscles, then re-measure to see if any change has been made.
All measurments and procedures used, and for what duration will be recorded in the first and subsequent sessions. The client will refrain from other treatments such as PT and chiropractic during this time. The duration for this study will be 1 30-minute session, 1x/week for 4 weeks.

Goniometers are tools used to measure range-of-motion.
