Purpose@#This study sought to identify whether fascial therapy using myofascial release (MFR) and Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) techniques affected not only the area where treatment was being given but also remote areas connected to the treatment area by fascial continuity through comparison of the pain pressure threshold (PPT). @*Methods@#The subjects were 16 healthy normal adults in their 20s and 30s who were divided into the MFR and FDM groups before the experiment. The PPT was measured at 4 different points on the body of the subjects. C7, T7, L5, and gastrocnemius along the superficial back line (SBL) before and after the intervention. @*Results@#Only the FDM group subjects showed a significant increase in the PPT at T7 after the intervention. (p< 0.05). In addition, the FDM group demonstrated significantly increased PPT at L5 compared to the MFR group. However, neither the FDM nor the MFR group showed a meaningful change in the PPT at the remote area in the lower leg. @*Conclusion@#These findings showed that FDM can affect PPT more and has a positive effect on the pain threshold compared to MFR.However, neither FDM nor MFR showed any effect on the PPT in a remote area.
