Myofascial release for chronic low back pain in CrossFit athletes
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a hands-on or tool-assisted muscle release technique can reduce long-term low back pain and improve posture in people who do CrossFit. If you have had low back pain for at least 12 weeks and do CrossFit regularly, this study may help you find relief.

This trial tests whether a treatment that combines dry cupping therapy with the McKenzie exercise method can reduce pain for people with long-lasting low back pain. It is designed for patients who have had pain for more than 3 months and could help find new ways to manage pain.
This study tests whether a combination of guided movement exercises and “fascial manipulation” (hands-on work on soft tissue) can help people with long-lasting low back pain. It may be an option if your back pain has not improved with non-surgery treatments or if you have post-surgery back pain.
This trial tests whether injecting sore “trigger points” in low back muscles helps improve chronic low back pain. It compares treatments in people with specific low back muscle pain patterns and excludes several other causes of pain.
This study tests whether a hands-on therapy called myofascial release can reduce chronic low back pain. Myofascial release targets the connective tissue (fascia) around muscles to ease tightness and improve mobility.
This trial tests two hands-on therapies—dry cupping and a special massage technique—to see which works better for long-term low back pain caused by muscle knots. You may be able to join if your pain has lasted over 3 months and you have trigger points.
This study compares two types of gentle muscle-release techniques—post-isometric relaxation and myofascial release—to see which better relieves low back pain caused by lower cross syndrome, a common muscle imbalance. If you have ongoing back pain and tight hamstrings, this trial may offer a drug-free treatment option.
