A soft tissue mobilization is a form of manual physical therapy that uses hands-on techniques on your muscles and ligaments to heal scar tissue that sometimes forms after a soft tissue injury.
Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM) uses stretching and deep pressure to break up rigid muscle tissue, relax muscle tension, and move fluids trapped in the tissues that cause pain and inflammation.
STM is used to treat soft tissue injuries including muscle strains and sprains. It is a type of manual therapy. Soft Tissue Mobilization aids in relaxing tense muscles, reducing scar tissue, and stretching and lengthening fascia to improve range of motion.
