Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the studies of musculotendinous releasing manual therapy and suggestions for clinical application. Methods: Derive research questions using the scoping review methodology. Searching for related studies, the studies were selected, and the data were analyzed and reported. We searched domestic database for studies on musculotendinous releasing manual therapy reported till April 2023. We reviewed 82 studies excluding duplicate studies and 13 studies were selected. Results: Five studies were literature studies and eight studies were clinical studies. Among the five literature studies, two studies investigating and analyzing general manual therapy, one study investigating manual therapy applied to frozen shoulders, and one systematic literature review to investigate the economic effects of manual therapy, one study using tools. There was one study examining research trends in manual therapy. Eight clinical studies were conducted on patients with Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, meralgia paresthetica and obesity. Conclusions: Musculotendinous releasing manual therapy is thought to be applicable not only to musculoskeletal disease but also to changes in body shape due to connective tissue.
