Arms and interventions

Myofascial Trigger Point Manual Compression GroupExperimental

Participants in this group receive myofascial trigger point manual compression only. A licensed physical therapist applies sustained manual pressure to identified myofascial trigger points using standardized, noninvasive procedures.

Myofascial Chain-Based Specific Exercise GroupExperimental

Participants in this group receive a myofascial chain-based specific exercise program only. The supervised exercise program is delivered by a physical therapist and focuses on movement control and muscle function within targeted myofascial chains.

Combined Manual Compression and Exercise GroupExperimental

Participants in this group receive a combined intervention consisting of myofascial trigger point manual compression followed by a myofascial chain-based specific exercise program within the same treatment session.

Other: Myofascial Trigger Point Manual Compression, Myofascial Chain-Based Specific Exercise
