Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft Tissue Therapy is often the missing link that is overlooked in rehabilitation of an injury. Soft tissues make up 70% of your body and include muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Throughout treatment, we assess and treat soft tissue functions tailored to your needs, to ensure nothing is missed and you’re getting better faster.

  • Proprioceptive-Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) – Specific stretching techniques that target muscle groups, increase flexibility and improve muscle strength.
  • Trigger Point Therapy – A massage technique specifically designed to alleviate the source of pain through cycles of pressure and release. 
  • Gua-sha – A Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising to release unhealthy elements from injured areas of the body and stimulates blood flow and healing.
  • Cross-fiber Friction – A massage technique that helps maintain mobility, range of motion and reduce scarring within the soft tissue of ligaments, tendons and specific muscles after an injury.>
  • NIMMO Compression – A massage technique specifically designed to alleviate the source of pain through gradual cycles of increasing pressure and release.
