Soft Tissue Therapy

You do not have to play a sport to get musculoskeletal pain or dysfunction.  It can be caused by lifestyle or daily stresses.  What you do for work, how you carry yourself (posture) or how you are structured all influence your body and how you react to those influences.

Soft Tissues are the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, vessels, and the fascia network that support every structure in the body. 

STT is the assessment, treatment and management of injuries, pain or dysfunction to the soft tissues of the body.

It is ideal for people who are wanting: to reduce chronic pain and restrictions, improve their posture, increase the range of motion of a joint, relax and thus improve their quality of life.

Along with assisting the body to regain full strength following an injury or musculoskeletal trauma, it helps to speed up recovery, remove adhesions and reduce scar tissue.

Common types of conditions treatable with STT include:

• Bursitis
• Bruises
• Sprains
• Strains
• Stress injuries
• Tendonitis
• Headaches
• Inhibited muscles

STT includes:

• Therapeutic massage aimed at improving general health and wellbeing as well as symptoms relating to other medical conditions (not all conditions are able to be treated so if you are in doubt, please ask your therapist)
• Sports massage as part of a support package which is designed to help athletes prevent injury and enhance performance
• A range of advanced massage techniques aimed at targeted improvement and recovery from acute and chronic injuries
• A range of assessment methods to determine the appropriateness of Soft Tissue Therapy for the individual and devise a suitable treatment plan for the individual client
• A range of advanced soft tissue techniques to improve joint and fascial mobility
• A range of Neuromuscular techniques to improve functional movement
• Offering advice on a range of remedial exercises and lifestyle factors aimed at speeding up recovery, preventing injury as well as improving posture, performance and function

Soft Tissue Therapists care about the person with an injury, not just the injury.

Treatment is tailored to the specific type, timescale, and degree of dysfunction.
