Soft Tissue Therapy
What is Soft Tissue Therapy?
Soft Tissue Therapy is often the missing link that is overlooked in rehabilitation of an injury.
Soft tissues make up 70% of your body and include muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Throughout treatment, we assess and treat soft tissue functions tailored to your needs, to ensure nothing is missed and you’re getting better faster.
Specific Treatments Offered
Graston Technique
This innovative form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial constraints. This technique uses specially designed instruments to detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting signs of soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
Active Release Technique
A massage technique that treats issues with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Also helps with headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow.
Proprioceptive-Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
Specific stretching techniques that target muscle groups, increase flexibility and improve muscle strength.
Trigger Point Therapy
A massage technique specifically designed to alleviate the source of pain through cycles of pressure and release.
Gua-sha Treatment
A Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising to release unhealthy elements from injured areas of the body and stimulates blood flow and healing.
Cross-fiber Friction
A massage technique that helps maintain mobility, range of motion and reduce scarring within the soft tissue of ligaments, tendons and specific muscles after an injury.
NIMMO Compression
A massage technique specifically designed to alleviate the source of pain through gradual cycles of increasing pressure and release.
Vacuum Therapy
A non-invasive technique using suction to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing in soft tissues.
