Conditions
Interventions
Others(tecar therapy, myofascial release ) : The TECAR therapy group received a single 20-minute intervention consisting of sequential application of capacitive electric transfer (CET) and resistive e
TECAR therapy utilized high-frequency deep thermal stimulation to enhance circulation, while MFR employed manual techniques targeting superficial and fascial tissues.
