Summary

This study looked at how a 5-minute self-massage technique on the upper neck muscles might affect the chain of connective tissue running down the back. Thirty healthy adults took part, and researchers measured changes in muscle stiffness, pain sensitivity, ankle movement, and foot pressure. The goal was to understand connections in the body, not to treat any condition.
