Tissue mobilization is a manual therapy technique used to improve the mobility of muscles, fascia, and other soft tissues. It involves hands-on manipulation to release tension, break down adhesions, and restore normal tissue movement. Tissue mobilization is commonly used to alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and enhance range of motion, particularly after injury or surgery.
This technique is particularly effective for treating conditions like muscle tightness, joint restrictions, and post-surgical scar tissue. Therapists use various techniques such as kneading, stretching, and deep tissue massage to target specific problem areas.
Tissue mobilization plays an important role in rehabilitation, helping to restore normal tissue function, alleviate pain, and improve mobility and function in patients recovering from musculoskeletal injuries.
