Soft tissues are groups of cells that provide support, structure, and function to various parts of the body. They include muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and fat. These tissues play essential roles in movement, stability, and protection of organs. Soft tissues can be affected by injuries, diseases, or conditions such as tendinitis or muscle strains. Proper care, including rest and rehabilitation, is important for healing. Understanding soft tissues helps in diagnosing and treating various medical issues related to the musculoskeletal system.
