Soft tissue mobilization is a hands-on therapy technique that focuses on treating muscle and soft tissue injuries, including strains, sprains, and adhesions. The therapist applies controlled pressure, stretching, and movement to the affected tissues to break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
This technique is used for patients with conditions such as muscle tightness, tendonitis, or post-surgical stiffness. Soft tissue mobilization helps to promote healing, reduce pain, and restore normal movement patterns.
Soft tissue mobilization can be combined with other therapies like exercise or joint mobilization for comprehensive rehabilitation, and it is effective in improving functional mobility.
