soft tissue mobilization
Soft tissue mobilization is a therapeutic technique used by healthcare professionals to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves applying specific pressure and movement to the body's soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This technique aims to improve circulation, reduce tension, and enhance flexibility, promoting overall healing and recovery.
Practitioners of soft tissue mobilization may use their hands or specialized tools to manipulate the tissues. This approach can be beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, or improving athletic performance. It is often integrated into physical therapy and rehabilitation programs to support optimal function.
