Myofascial Release Therapy for Posture and Facial Symmetry
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether massage-based treatment of muscles and connective tissue (myofascial release) can improve body posture and facial symmetry in healthy adults. Researchers will measure changes in how you stand and your facial appearance before and after the therapy.
