Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of the study is to test the effect of myofascial induction and pre-pressure release of the grastrocnemius muscle on the proximal musculature: biceps femoris, flexor digitorum brevis and extensor digitorum grandus on the pain pre-pressure threshold variable and range of motion of ankle with knee bend and flexed


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects from 18 to 39 years old.
* Healthy subjects with trigger point 1 of the gastrocnemius muscle in both lower limbs

Exclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of lower limb injury, including any tendinopathy, bursitis, ligamentous involvement, and/or fasciitis
* History of lower limb surgery or history of lower-extremity injury with residual symptoms (pain or feeling of sensations) within the last year.
* Participants could not have undergone ankle stretching or any other treatment.
* Diabetes due to possible alteration of arterial distal circulation.
* Foot deformity, cavus, and flat feet.
* Foot deformities, such as hammer toes and hallux valgus,
* Plantar corns and calluses.
* Lower limb dysfunction or chronic injury.
