Passive static stretch has been widely used for decreasing posterior shoulder muscles (infraspinatus, and posterior deltoid) tightness, which is lead to restricted joint mobility, shoulder impingement, labral lesion, and rotator cuff tear. To restore the shortened or stiff muscle to its normal length or tension, a stretching method is generally used, but there is a limitation in actual movement recovery. Increased muscle flexibility after stretching is due to sensory modification, rather than increased length of muscle, an idea referred to as theory of sensory. Therefore, alteration in the sensitivity (by sensory receptor) for stretching must be made in the end range of stretching. When a general stretching method is performed, the extensibility of the muscles in the end range is increased due to the reflex action of the sensory receptors for pain and stretching. Various therapeutic tools have been widely used to solve this problem and improve the therapeutic effect of stretching. Local cryotherapy reduces the uncomfortable sensation that patients feel when stretching and increases the therapeutic effect. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) using Graston technique is effective for treating soft tissue dysfunction, increased mobility of soft tissue, fibroblast production, and morphological changes in muscle. In recent years, the use of vibration devices is increasing to increase the elongation and reduce stiffness of muscle tissue, in the field of rehabilitation and sports. Compared to cryotherapy or IASTM, it can be easily applied and relaxes soft tissues in a short time.
