Benefits of Soft Tissue Therapy: FAQ

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SOFT TISSUE THERAPY?

Our approach is to work with our clients to design a treatment plan that enables them to achieve their goals. For example, returning you to your normal level of daily activity with the same or an improved level of function.

​

Soft Tissue Therapy has a number of benefits, including;

-  Helping to reduce recovery time after injury or surgery and preventing future injuries by identifying problem areas

- Increasing the lymphatic flow, reducing pain, swelling and inflammation and speeding up the healing process.

- Relieving stress and tension either physical or psychological, which can lead onto problems of their own

- Promoting and improving joint function and mobility

- Rectifying imbalances in the body (e.g. postural)

- Increases the blood flow to the area being treated, boosting circulation

TREATMENT EXPECTATIONS

Let us be honest here, a well executed rehabilitative programme is far from the dimly lit pamper session that you may experience at a spa. Treatment will probably be uncomfortable and quite possibly a little painful at the time but most importantly it will work.


Our therapists will work with individual clients to determine the best approach to treatment, as different ailments, may require deeper work on the muscle or more subtle stretching of the fascia. 

AFTERCARE

Drinking plenty of water after treatment is very helpful in rehydration, building healthy muscle tissue and the removal of toxins that are released during treatment 

​

If you are tender after a treatment, and often clients are for 2-3 days as the body heals, you may want to try an ice pack on the area.  Light movement is also good to help the blood flow to and from the muscle. Some clients like a hot bath and find that this soothes the muscles. Sometimes the worse the treatment reaction the better the overall client improvement that follows, once the body has rebalanced
