Physical Pain Requires a Hands-on Approach

What is Soft Tissue Mobilization?

Soft tissue mobilization breaks up inelastic or fibrous muscle tissue such as scar tissue, move tissue fluids, and relax muscle tension. This procedure consists of rhythmic stretching and deep pressure. AT A Different Approach - PT for Women (ADAPT), your physical therapist will localize the area of greatest tissue restriction through layer-by-layer assessment. Once identified, these restrictions can be mobilized with a wide variety of techniques. The goal of these techniques is to restore normal texture to the tissue and reduce associated pain.
