What Is Soft Tissue Therapy?
More than just a massage...
Soft tissue therapy involves the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of minor and chronic soft tissue injuries and dysfunction. Soft tissues include the deep and superficial muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and other fibrous connective tissue.
Treatments include a number of advanced massage therapy, of which deep tissue massage is just one component. I may also use myofascial release, trigger point work, muscle energy techniques, positional release and/or kiniesiology taping. In short, whatever works best to quickly to calm down your nervous system and get you back on your feet and doing the things you love.
Positive Pain Management
Persistent, chronic pain can be isolating and have a major detrimental impact on day-to-day life, affecting your mood as well as your mobility. And yet, often, there is little a GP can do except prescribe you pain-killers.
Pain can be isolating and a soft tissue treatment also provides you with an opportunity for you to feel heard and understood in a safe and supportive space. A chance to off-load your pain anxieties and receive practical, evidence-based rehab advice and guidance.
Each treatment is tailored to your unique situation, taking into account a history of your health and symptoms, the findings of a thorough physical assessment and consideration for what else is going on in your life, both physically and emotionally, at the time. Consequently, no one treatment is the same.
