Abstract.

Myofascial Induction Therapy (MIT) is a manually-applied method used in physiotherapy and focused on restoring altered fascial tissue. In a healthy body, the fascial system maintains elasticity and coordination of movements. However, injuries and their after-effects, such as scars, may reduce this tissue role, causing a dysfunction. The aim of this study is to ascertain the effect of MIT on scars which have completed the repair process in healthy individuals without any associated pathology that might affect the healing process. In all 10 cases studied, changes were observed after applying MIT on the structure of the scar fold, both at deep (shown by ultrasound) and at superficial (shown by scar fold measurement) levels. Eight weekly MIT sessions were applied, establishing this number as a reference for future studies. Functional improvement was determined using Schober's Test and patient quality of life was measured with a specific questionnaire. These outcomes lay the groundwork for future research.
