Interventions
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization
We will perform instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization on calf muscles. The intervention will last 9 min. For the first minute of treatment light pressure will be applied for tissue preparation. Afterwards, four different strokes will be applied by maintaining the tool at a 30° of inclination for one minute. This will be repeated for a second set, with a tool inclination of 45°.
