WHEN PROGRESS UNMASKS THE DANGEROUS VIOLATION OF THE WISDOM OF NATURE.

Some interventions, such as percutaneous fibrolysis, deep massages, performed on muscle tissues during the biological reparative period, can negatively interfere with the normal tissue reparative response, consequently altering the imaging control performed. Sometimes such therapies can cause iatrogenic damage to muscle tissues during its biological repair phase. Imaging examination, especially magnetic resonance imaging, can unmask these iatrogenic damages. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the importance of careful evaluation concerning these therapies performed during the rehabilitation pathway, especially during the biological reparative period, since recent radiological techniques seem to show a higher frequency of iatrogenic lesions.
