A member asked:
What is the success rate of a fasciectomy or a fasciotomy for chronic exertional compartment syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: If what you mean by exertional compartment syndrome is what is colloquially known as 'shin splints' then you may experience that after massage. True compartment 'syndrome' would necessitate a surgical treatment known as fasciotomy which is unlikely caused by massage.
