Actual (reported)VAS Pain Scale
The 100 millimeter VAS is a commonly employed self-completed scale for the assessment of pain in adults. The scale is scored using a ruler, by measuring the distance in millimetres, along a 100 millimetres line, from the anchor marked "no pain".
1 minute
SF-MPQ 2
The SF-MPQ 2 is a shorter version of the original McGill Pain Questionnaire. It is a multidimensional measure of pain, consisting of 2 subscales, one for sensory change and one for affective change.
I minute
Likert Perception Scale
The Likert perception scale is the measurement of the subject's perception of change following the intervention.

Algometry
Algometry is the assessment of load-dependent tenderness at a specific anatomical site.

Subjects will be randomly assigned to either group A or B. Session 1 will serve to familiarize all participants with the battery of tests including the 100 mm VAS, Short-form Mcgill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), Likert perception scale adapted from Kiefer et al. (2017), algometry, manual muscle testing, assessed via hand-held dynamometer (HHD), and grip strength assessed via hydraulic hand dynamometer; subjects will also be instructed in the AROM protocol. Familiarization will be conducted a minimum of 24 hours prior to the first condition. There will be a minimum washout period of 1 week to reduce both order and carry-over effects. Only the principal investigator will be abreast to the order of intervention, sufficiently blinding the raters. Prior to each trial, participants will be instructed to refrain from resistance training for a minimum of 48 hours and to abstain from the use of stimulants or analgesic medication for a minimum of 6 hours prior to reporting to the lab.
Tissue-flossing, is the use of an elastic band to provide compression on soft-tissue and joints whilst performing active and, or passive range of motion.
An ACE bandage is a cloth wrap used to provide compression
