Overview

Self-stretching reduces trapezius muscle stiffness and improves hemodynamics in healthy adults, suggesting a non-invasive evaluation tool.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effects of trapezius muscle self-stretching on skin circulation hemodynamics.
  • Evaluated skin circulation before and after trapezius muscle self-stretching using skin laser speckle flowgraphy.
  • Measured various physiological parameters including systolic and mean blood pressure, and intraocular pressure.
  • Assessed trapezius stiffness and subjective symptoms using visual analog scale.
  • Significant reductions in systolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, and trapezius stiffness after self-stretching.
  • Intraocular pressure remained unchanged, indicating localized effects.
  • Self-stretching is associated with decreased sympathetic activity and improved relaxation.
