Soft Tissue Work

Soft tissue Work is whole-body management that focuses on massage and other manual techniques to address problems arising from muscles and soft tissues. Treatment involves techniques to reduce muscular tension, spasm and tightness while the selection of these techniques is largely dependent upon individual presentation and the exact clinical problem. Techniques which you may experience with soft tissue work may include general massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and stretches. Many people consider a massage as a simple ‘back rub’ but it’s a form of structured touching and is one of the oldest known healing arts. Soft tissue treatment helps:

- Enhancing blood flow to injured tissue.
- Improving joint flexibility and movement by lengthening muscles and associated soft tissue structures.
- Reducing pain and therefore promoting relaxation.
- Improving a person's overall wellbeing by reducing stress, anxiety and depression.
