How Soft Tissue Mobilization Works

Soft tissue injuries have been known to occur when muscles are very tense and contracted. They can also happen as a result of a sprained ankle or other sudden trauma. When dealing with a soft tissue injury, you may feel weak muscles, pain, and less ability to move around freely.

At the office of Motion Dynamics Physical Therapy, our skilled and compassionate professionals will perform soft tissue mobilization using manual techniques to break up adhesions on your muscles, fascia, and ligaments. Adhesions can also be thought of as scar tissue that forms as your body heals itself after an injury to soft tissue. A soft tissue injury comes in many forms, including:

• tendonitis
• sprains
• strains
• stress injuries
• bursitis
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• fibromyalgia
• tennis elbow
• running injuries

We utilize treatments designed to regenerate healthy soft tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.), and eliminate or reduces unwanted scar tissue that may be causing pain or movement restrictions. Ultimately, soft tissue mobilization can help to break down adhesions such as scar tissue, decrease pain and swelling, lengthen muscles and tendons and ultimately improve your range of motion.
