Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue work (or therapy) is a type of manual therapy that focuses on the soft tissues of the body, specifically the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. 

Chiropractors often use soft tissue therapy in combination with spinal and extremity adjustments, to help relieve pain and improve joint function.

Soft tissue therapy performed by a Chiropractor can involve a range of techniques, including deep tissue massage, myofascial (passive) release, trigger point therapy, active release and stretching. 

The Chiropractor's at AIM may use their hands or specialized tools to apply pressure and manipulate the soft tissues in order to reduce tension, alleviate pain, and promote healing.

Soft tissue therapies can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including: back pain, neck pain, headaches, sprains/strains and sports injuries. They can also be helpful in improving posture and overall mobility.

Please consult your Chiropractor at AIM to see what specific soft tissue techniques they use and if this would be beneficial for you!
