Background Myofascial release has been recommended for increasing joint range of motion (ROM). However, no study has identified the effects of self-myofascial release using a massage ball during stretching exercises. Purpose This study investigated the effects of self-myofascial release on glenohumeral internal rotation and horizontal adduction ROM using a massage ball during cross-body stretching. Study design Case series study Methods Overall, 18 adults with reduced glenohumeral internal rotation ROM performed self-myofascial release using a massage ball during cross-body stretching. Glenohumeral internal rotation and horizontal adduction ROM were measured pre- and post-intervention. Changes in ROM were analyzed using the paired t-test. Results Glenohumeral internal rotation and horizontal adduction ROM significantly increased after intervention (p<0.05). Conclusions The findings indicate that a combination of myofascial release using a massage ball and stretching improves the glenohumeral joint ROM effectively.
