Paloncy, EdD, ATC2, Karen Rawkowski, PT, ATC1, Todd Daniel PhD, ATC3 1 Mercy Sports Medicine, Springfield, MO; 2 North Central College, Naperville, IL; 3 RStats Institute, Springfield MO ABSTRACT The effectiveness of trigger point release in the suboccipital region to improve hamstring mobility has been established in the literature, but the research has not clarified whether self- administered soft tissue techniques produce the same improvements to mobility as when the clinician delivers the manual trigger point release. There was a statistically significant main effect for the intervention (F(1,58) = 18.24, p < .001, eta = .239) indicating that both the clinician-administered and the self- administered groups improved in their hamstring mobility from pretest to posttest; but there was not a statistically significant interaction of time and group (F(1,58) = 18.24, p = .360, eta = .014) indicating that the effectiveness of suboccipital trigger point release on hamstring mobility did not differ between groups.	cache/clinat-37.pdf	txt/clinat-37.txt
