Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of myofascial release in altering the parameters of muscle tone, stiffness, and viscoelasticity in young adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the efficacy of myofascial release in altering muscle tone, stiffness, and viscoelasticity? What is the efficacy of light hands-on sham as a control? Are there differences in these parameters between men and women? What is the reliability of MyotonPro use in young adults? Researchers will randomly allocate and compare the treatment group, which receives osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) in the form of 30 seconds of indirect myofascial release followed by 30 seconds of direct myofascial release, to the control group, which receives 1 minute of light hands-on traps placebo, to see if there are differences in muscle tone, stiffness, and viscoelasticity.
