Soft tissue therapy in Reno

What is soft tissue therapy?

Soft tissue is everything that isn't bone: muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. When it's tight, knotted, or injured, it can cause pain and limit how you move. Soft tissue therapy uses targeted pressure, stretching, and movement to release it.

Techniques we use

We choose the technique that fits your problem and your comfort:

• Hands-on muscle work: targeted pressure and stretching on tight muscles and knots
• Pin and stretch: we hold pressure on a tight muscle while it moves through a stretch, releasing tension that pressure alone can't reach
• Instrument-assisted soft tissue work (scraping or IASTM): smooth-edged tools glide over the skin to work on tight tissue and old scar tissue
• Cupping: dry cupping, where the cups stay in place, and sliding cupping, where they glide over the muscle. It can leave round marks that fade over a few days

What it helps with

• Tight, sore muscles in the back, neck, and shoulders
• Muscle knots and trigger points
• Tendon pain like tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis
• Stiffness after an injury

Part of a full plan

Soft tissue therapy works best combined with adjustments, focused shockwave therapy, and corrective exercise. Releasing tight tissue makes it easier to move well, and exercise keeps it that way.
