The prevalence of latent myofascial trigger points and diagnostic criteria of the triceps surae and upper trapezius: A cross sectional study (2013)
Journal Article

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of latent myofascial trigger points (MTrPs), specific diagnostic criteria and the association between gender and MTrP prevalence in the triceps surae and upper trapezius. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting:...

The immediate effect of triceps surae myofascial trigger point therapy on restricted active ankle joint dorsiflexion in recreational runners: A crossover randomised controlled trial (2013)
Journal Article

Objectives: To investigate the immediate effect on restricted active ankle joint dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), after a single intervention of myofascial trigger point (MTrP) therapy on latent triceps surae MTrPs in recreational runners. Design:...

Proximal hamstring rupture, restoration of function without surgical intervention: A case study on myofascial trigger point pressure release (2006)
Journal Article

Proximal hamstring rupture is a rare occurrence, although documented in the literature during water skiing. This case study highlights the treatment of a proximal hamstring rupture whilst water skiing. In this case, physiotherapy was the main therape...

The association between static foot posture and pressure pain threshold of the lower leg and foot in adult male sporting participants
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background and aims: Static foot posture may be associated as a possible risk factor for specific lower limb sporting injuries, although further high quality evidence is required. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is yet to be used to establish a link be...
