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.
