Study Arms (2)

Sham-Ultrasound

SHAM COMPARATOR

Intervention will include one session sham-ultrasound application to both lower extremities of participant. The total time will be 15 minutes.

Other: Sham-Ultrasound

Myofascial Release Technique+Sham-Ultrasound

EXPERIMENTAL

In addition to one session sham-ultrasound, the intervention will include one session myofascial release technique to both lower extremities of participant. The total time will be 30 minutes.

Other: Myofascial Release Technique; Other: Sham-Ultrasound

Interventions

Myofascial Release Technique OTHER

Myofascial release technique will bi applied bottom of the feet, back of the legs and hamstrings in both extremities. The practitioner will decide how long she should stay in a region according to the feeling of releasing in the tissue. The technique will be applied to a region at least 3 times.

Myofascial Release Technique+Sham-Ultrasound

Sham-Ultrasound OTHER

Sham-ultrasound will be applied to back of legs and thighs in both extremities without pressure and all parameters of the ultrasound device except the timer will be closed.

Myofascial Release Technique+Sham-Ultrasound; Sham-Ultrasound
