Soft Tissue & Myofascial Therapy
Targeted hands-on techniques to address muscle tension, pain, and movement restrictions.
About This Treatment
Soft tissue therapy uses manual techniques to address muscle tightness, pain, and movement restrictions. Techniques include specific pressure, sustained holds, and movement-based approaches to reduce pain sensitivity and improve tissue mobility. Applies to both acute muscle injuries and chronic soft tissue conditions.
What to Expect
During treatment, you'll feel firm to moderate pressure, stretching sensations, and sustained holds. The technique ranges from targeted deep work to gentle sustained pressure depending on the area. You may feel warmth, tingling, or softening as tissues release. Some areas may be tender initially but should feel better as restriction releases. The process can range from intense to relaxing. Most people experience immediate improvements in flexibility and reduced tension, with cumulative benefits over multiple sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Soft Tissue & Myofascial Therapy
Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, organ, nerve, and blood vessel in your body. It provides structural support and allows tissues to slide against each other during movement. When fascia becomes restricted from injury, inflammation, or poor movement patterns, it loses its elastic quality and can bind tissues together. This creates pulling sensations, limits movement, and can refer pain to distant areas through fascial connections. Addressing fascial restrictions often relieves pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
