Abstract
  • This doctoral capstone project focuses on tight fascia as a secondary concern to tongue ties, torticollis, and other congenital issues and the benefits of utilizing myofascial release (MFR) to treat these populations. IU North’s Outpatient (OP) Clinic expressed interest in learning more about MFR to gain referrals and meet the needs of these populations. The researcher utilized a cost-benefit ratio and acceptability-perception survey to identify the need for and benefits of utilizing MFR in the OP clinic. The cost-benefit analysis results indicated that the benefit of utilizing MFR would outweigh the costs of training needed to practice in this area. The acceptability perception survey results indicated that the occupational and physical therapists were “very likely” to utilize MFR if given the appropriate training and patient population. Through this doctoral capstone project, IU North’s Outpatient Clinic gained several resources and further knowledge on tongue ties, tight fascia, and myofascial release.
