Soft Tissue Therapy

Posted on by

Soft Tissue Therapies – Are hands-on massage techniques which address muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia (a specific type of connective tissue).

Pain and stiffness don’t happen only in the joints but, very often occur in the muscles and other connective tissues.

Myofascial Release Therapy is one of our favored techniques and Neuromuscular Therapy is another.  Does your chiropractor offer you the benefit of these valuable treatments?

Healing time is usually faster and better when hands-on* soft tissue therapies are used in combination with chiropractic adjusting.
