Invasive physiotherapy techniques, such as Intratissue Percutaneous Electroly-sis (IPE), have numerous beneficial effects depending on the pathology being treated, in-cluding the deactivation of myofascial trigger points (MTP) caused by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The objectives are (1) evaluate the effectiveness of low intesity IPE treatment com-pared to DN on the shortening of FHB in patients with MPS, in 4 and 12 weeks evaluation, (2) assess the distribution of plantar pressures after the interventions and (3) evaluate the modification of FHB activation following the interventions.

mean pressures (MP)
Timeframe: It was measured at the start of the protocol in week 1, in week 4 and in week 12.
maximum pressures (PMáx)
Timeframe: It was measured at the start of the protocol in week 1, in week 4 and in week 12.
maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)
Timeframe: It was measured at the start of the protocol in week 1, in week 4 and in week 12.
dynamic muscular activation of the FHB
Timeframe: It was measured at the start of the protocol in week 1, in week 4 and in week 12.
