Massage / Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft Tissue Therapy is a form of chiropractic care that focuses on the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues in the body. This type of therapy is often used to complement other chiropractic treatments, such as spinal adjustments, to help alleviate pain and improve overall function.

There are several different techniques that can be used in soft tissue therapy, including myofascial release therapy (MRT), Active Release Technique (ART), instrument-assisted techniques such as Graston and Gavilon tools, and trigger point therapy.

MRT involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to release tension in the muscles and soft tissues. ART is a hands-on technique that involves applying pressure to specific areas of the body while the patient moves through a range of motion. Instrument-assisted techniques such as Graston and Gavilon tools use specially designed instruments to help break down scar tissue and adhesions in the soft tissues. Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to specific areas of muscle to release tightness and pain.
