Study Summary
Up to 15 participants between the ages of 18-55 will report for two research sessions. Prior to arrival, minimum requirements for being recreationally active or a recreational runner will be confirmed via email using the Pre-Participation Screening form. The first session will require one hour, while the second will require 30 minutes. Maximum amount of time expected is one and a half hours, over two sessions in 48 hours. The 1st and 2nd sessions will be separated by 48 hours. Upon arrival for session 1, informed consent will be obtained along with the following demographic information: age, sex, height, weight, dominant leg, and activity. Participants will then be assessed for trigger points in their dominant side iliotibial band via palpation. Diagnostic criteria for trigger point will be modeled after Travell and Simons: taut band and pain upon palpation. One to four trigger points will be marked on the subject's skin with marker or pen. Pain pressure threshold will be obtained via algometer, using the terminology "Tell me the first moment you experience pain by verbalizing 'now'. Then, three pain pressure threshold readings will be taken per trigger point and then averaged by the researcher. Following, a Visual Analogue Scale for pain will be assessed by asking the question 'On average, on a scale from 0-10 how painful was the pressure?' Kinesiology tape will then be applied to the identified trigger points using the Manual Fascial Glide. The Manual Fascial Glide will be applied with one 'I' strip horizontal to each trigger point. The tape will be anchored adjacent to the marked trigger point, a gentle pressure will be placed on the anchor while applying a lateral glide of the superficial tissue, and adhering the tape in the opposite direction at 30% tension. Pain pressure threshold will be obtained again with the same protocols 10 minutes after the tape is applied. The participant will be asked to wear the tape for 48 hours. Upon arrival for session 2, the appl
