Soft Tissue Therapy is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, tendons, fascia and ligaments. It is applicable not just to sports people but to anybody wishing to guard against or recover from a soft tissue injury.

The techniques used by soft tissue therapists have been developed to ensure effective and efficient results are gained from each massage given. Soft Tissue Therapy may:

• Improve circulation and angiogenesis
• Assist in the removal of metabolic waste or adhesions
• Increase or decrease muscle tone
• Remodel scar tissue when required
• Gently relax muscles in spasm
• Assist in mental preparation for sporting participation

You do not need to be a sports performer to benefit from Soft Tissue Therapy. The benefits above can also help relieve the many day to day problems, repetitive strain injury, sprains, tension, fatigue, that everyone experiences. Many Soft Tissue Therapists work with a great range of clients in assisting with preventive treatment and injury recovery.
