Soft tissue techniques may be used to address areas of muscle tension or movement-related discomfort. The intensity and method should be adjusted to the individual and should not replace assessment of new or unexplained symptoms.
What do soft tissue techniques involve?
A practitioner may use manual pressure or movement over selected muscles and related soft tissues. The technique should be explained and adapted to your tolerance and clinical presentation.
When might massage be discussed?
Massage may be considered for selected muscle-related complaints, stiffness or recovery goals. It may not be appropriate in every case, including some acute injuries or medical conditions.
Communication matters
Tell your practitioner about current symptoms, medication, recent surgery, bruising, skin issues and any preference for lighter or firmer pressure. You can ask to adjust or stop treatment at any time.
Frequently asked questions
Should deep tissue massage hurt?
