Commentary on myofascial release therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma.

摘要

In the series of Fascial Release Case Studies, two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were recently described who had reduced pain and enhanced functional mobility following structural integration-based Fascial Release Therapy (FRT) (Ball, 2011). This paper was only the second report in JBMT to describe patients with any form of systemic rheumatic connective tissue diseases (CTDs). A preceding report described effects of FRT in a patient with diffuse cutaneous (dc) systemic sclerosis (SSc) (Martin, 2009).
