Soft Tissue Mobilization

It is hard to define exactly what soft tissue work is due to the overlap of 'hands on' techniques we have today. It as any modality which utilizes tactile contact on tissues with the aim of normalizing their function. A range of movements is used, from stroking (with or without oils) to compression and passive stretching. The more superficial tissues like muscles and fascia are commonly treated but equally important are tendons, ligaments and even viscera.
