INTRODUCTION: The decrease in flexibility can contribute to postural changes, a deficit in the ability to produce strength and predispose to injuries. Currently, several myofascial release techniques work to improve muscle flexibility. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between flexibility and joint strength and to verify the acute effect of two myofascial release modalities on hamstring flexibility. METHODS: 45 women participated in this study, divided into: Manual Liberation Group, Instrumental Liberation Group and Control Group. A sit and reach test, a third floor finger test, an assessment of the popliteal angle and an assessment of knee flexion joint strength were performed. Afterwards, the volunteers received a myofascial release session in the hamstring muscle group. After treatment, the volunteers were reevaluated. Results: Both groups that received myofascial release performed better in the flexibility tests. There was no correlation between hamstring flexibility and knee flexion muscle strength. Conclusion: The flexibility of the hamstring muscles did not influence the ability to produce knee flexion torque and both myofascial release techniques were effective in improving the flexibility of this musculature.
