摘要：Background: After acute injury, traumatized tissues respond following the healing process characterized by the inflammation response, fibroblastic repair response and remodeling response. This paper aims at analyzing the effect potential of the osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) which is capable of facilitating the healing process Method: A 28-year-old female volleyball player diagnosed with a grade III acute ankle sprain injury, a walking plaster cast for 20 days and no weight load on her foot, requested OMT. The osteopath scheduled and administered five OMT direct, indirect techniques sessions Results: The patient had her first differentiated training on the 27th day after the injury and her first official competition on the 51st day Conclusions: The outcomes of this single case are linked to the removal of the somatic dysfunctions which seem to promote the healing process responses therefore justifying future clinical studies dealing with the OMT mode of action
