WHAT IS SOFT TISSUE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Benefits of Soft Tissue Occupational Therapy
Soft tissue refers to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues within the body. When these structures experience dysfunction it can cause pain or discomfort in your everyday life, restricting your ability to move freely.
By treating these structures we aim to:
- Increase circulation by unlocking congested muscles
- decrease inflammation with lymphatic drainage
- Relive pressure on joints by reducing muscular tension
- Improve nerve signalling to support muscular performance
