How does soft tissue therapy compliment chiropractic treatment?
Soft tissue therapy targets muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments which move and support the joints through the body. We have found with our experience that if soft tissue therapy is performed prior to spinal or peripheral mobilisations or manipulations their effect is longer lasting and better tolerated.
Are there any risks or side effects of soft tissue therapy?
The most common side effect is some soreness felt at the site where treatment is implemented.
What musculoskeletal conditions can benefit from soft tissue therapy?
Muscle strains, tendinopathies, myofascial pain syndrome, trigger points, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, ligament sprains, repetitive strain injuries, sports injuries and post operative cases
