Sponsor's own description

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain, stiffness, and discomfort that usually appear 24-72 hours after doing an unusual or intense physical activity. Previous studies have shown that both Kinesio taping and the Graston technique can help reduce this type of muscle soreness. However, it is not clear which method is more effective, and their effects on muscle oxygen levels, muscle strength during functional tasks, and reaction time have not been compared directly. The aim of this study was to compare these two treatment methods in people who developed DOMS. A total of 30 healthy participants took part in the study. One group received Kinesio taping, the second group received the Graston technique, and the third group did not receive any treatment and was left to recover naturally. Muscle oxygen levels, functional muscle strength, and reaction times were measured before exercise and again 48 hours later, and the results were compared.
