Acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries are one of the major problems faced by those who practice any type of sport, regardless of whether they are professionals or amateurs. In this article, the authors highlight the action of "non-contractile" structures, in particular the myofascial system or muscle fascia, which can be responsible for the pathophysiology and healing process of muscular injuries. Manual therapy plays a predominant role in the treatment of these types of injuries and is key in the process of obtaining a scar capable of transmitting mechanical information.
