What is Soft Tissue Therapy?
The Sports Massage Association describes Soft Tissue Therapy as; 'the managment, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues in the body including muscles, tendons and ligaments'. Soft Tissue Therapy uses an array of techniques to treat the body bridging the gap between massage and a treatment that you may receive from an Osteopath, Physiotherapist or a Chiropractor. Soft Tissue Therapists can offset the work of other therapists because some injuries may not need Physiotherapy or Osteopathy but would benefit from hands-on-work that is more tailored and specific than a deep tissue massage.
Some techniques you may experience in soft tissue therapy include but not limited t0o; massage, acupuncture, cupping, IASTM & manipulation. So you could go to a Soft Tissue Therapist specifically for one of these treatments however, it is good to note that not all Soft Tissue Therapists will have the same skillset. If you know you really want cupping with massage or if you would like dry needling with massage then Soft Tissue Therapy would be great for you. Equally if you have pain and you're not sure what you need you can you can always email and ask what your options are or come in to better understand what Soft Tissue Therapy is. Should you require more extensive work involving diagnosis, a Soft Tissue therapist can refer you on to somebody more specialised.
​
Just like any kind of talking or hands-on therapy, each therapist is different. So it's good to take the time to read what your therapist offers and the skills that they have to see if they can give you what it is your body needs.
