What is Soft Tissue Therapy?
Soft tissue therapy is a technique used to address muscle tension, restricted mobility, and general musculoskeletal health. It involves various hands-on techniques applied to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to help promote movement and ease muscle tightness.
At Marylebone Chiropractic Clinic, we offer soft tissue therapy as part of a holistic approach to supporting joint mobility, flexibility, and musculoskeletal well-being.
How Soft Tissue Therapy May Support Musculoskeletal Health
Soft tissue therapy may be beneficial for individuals experiencing:
✔️ Muscle tightness from posture, sports, or daily activities
✔️ Stiffness and restricted movement in specific areas
✔️ Muscle imbalances due to repetitive strain or poor posture
✔️ Post-exercise recovery
This therapy is often used alongside chiropractic adjustments and postural correction to support overall mobility and comfort.
Common Techniques Used in Soft Tissue Therapy
Our chiropractors use a range of soft tissue therapy techniques, depending on your needs, including:
- Myofascial Release – A technique targeting muscle and fascia tension
- Trigger Point Therapy – Focused pressure applied to specific muscle knots
- Muscle Stretching – Assisted movements to support flexibility and function
- Massage Techniques – Gentle or deep-tissue techniques to support relaxation and circulation
Your chiropractor will assess which approach is best suited to your case and adapt techniques accordingly.
