Soft Tissue Therapy is a blanket term relating to a number of techniques including Sports Massage.
Aches and pains are an inevitable part of modern life, whatever our age or lifestyle. The human body is a wonderful self-repairing organism, but the cumulative effect of postural and occupational stresses, as well as the legacy of previous injuries may eventually take a toll. The stiff back, painful shoulder or niggly knee isn’t life threatening, but it can affect our enjoyment of life on so many levels.
Sports injuries can happen to anyone, you don’t need to be an athlete or even doing sport, but it is a general term referring to a soft tissue injury of muscles, tendons or ligaments that is more common when exercising.
Soft Tissue Therapy involves a range of advanced hands-on techniques, including massage, aimed at improving movement and reducing painful symptoms in our musculoskeletal system. A soft tissue therapist tries to identify the underlying causes of problem areas and gives advice on remedial exercise and lifestyle factors which could have an impact. Soft Tissue Therapy is not a miracle cure, but it may help to bring about profound improvements in your movement and quality of life.
