Context: Myofascial decompression (MFD) or "cupping therapy", and self-myofascial release (SMR) using a foam roller are contemporary methods of soft tissue therapy. Low-level evidence exists to support foam rolling to increase flexibility in the lower extremity, but research is scant regarding outcomes of MFD on flexibility and function in patients with hamstring pathology. Obiective: Investigate flexibility and patient-rated outcomes of two soft tissue therapies; myofascial decompression (MFD), and self-myofascial release using a foam roller (SMR) on patients with diagnosed hamstring pathology. Design: Pretest-posttest randomized group experimental study. Setting: Controlled laboratory setting. Patients or Other Participants: Seventeen collegiate athletes [13 males (20.6 +/- years, 184.9 +/ -cm, 90.8 +/- kg) and 4 females (20.5 +/- years, 167.1...
