Summary
This study looks at whether a single session of dry needling can quickly reduce calf muscle pain and improve sprint speed and jumping ability in amateur football players aged 18-25 who have tender knots in their calf muscles. Half the participants will get real dry needling, and the other half will get a fake version. Pain, speed, and performance are measured right before and after treatment.
