Soft tissue therapy is a form of manual therapy that targets not just the muscles, but also the tendons, ligaments, and fascia – the connective tissue that encloses and stabilizes muscles and organs. This form of therapy can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from acute and chronic pain, muscle tension, and restricted movement due to its primary objective of reducing muscle tension and enhancing overall function.

Soft Tissue Therapy: Your Path to Pain-Free Mobility
Soft tissue therapy aims to alleviate pain, improve function, and decrease muscle tension. Soft tissue therapy goes beyond merely addressing symptoms, targeting the root cause of the problem and promoting long-term wellness. Several techniques may be utilized depending on your specific condition and needs. These may include trigger point therapy, a method that focuses on relieving tight areas within muscle tissue causing pain in other parts of the body; practitioner-assisted stretching, which involves the therapist aiding in strategic stretching to improve flexibility and range of motion; and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, which employs specialized tools to deliver targeted treatment.
