Overview
Brief Summary
In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique in the muscles close to the application in the gastrocnemius muscle.
Detailed Description
In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique on nearby muscles. The calf maneuver proposed by Pilat for myofascial induction will be applied and the effects on the pain pressure threshold of the trigger points of the flexor digitorum brevis biceps femoris extensor digitorum longus muscles will be observed.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
1.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles before intervention
Time Frame: Immediately before intervention.
The pressure at which the patient begins to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons.
2.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles after intervention
Time Frame: Immediately after the intervention.
The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee extended under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.
