Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body i.e. muscles, connective tissues/ fascia, tendons, ligaments and joints. It is a manual therapy that aims to treat minor and chronic injuries whether caused through sport, other lifestyle factors, or help manage pain in chronic pain conditions or illnesses.

​

Postural assessment, orthopaedic testing, joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques ( Soft Tissue Release, Muscle Energy Techniques, Trigger Pointing, etc), sports/ deep tissue massage and rehabilitation  exercises are combined to treat both deep and superficial tissues. Treatment is effective for muscle aches and pains, injured muscles from sport or activity, headaches, low back pain, repetitive strain, sciatica, sports performance, injury prevention and recovery.
