Soft Tissue Therapy for Recovery and Mobility

Soft tissue therapy

Our treatments support people recovering from injury, dealing with chronic muscle tightness or wanting to improve performance. We use manual pressure, stretching and release techniques to address tension in muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.

This therapy works in combination with chiropractic care or as a standalone approach. It helps improve circulation, reduce stiffness and restore natural movement so you can get back to daily activity or sport faster.

Muscle Tension

Muscle tension builds up from stress, overuse, poor posture or long periods of sitting. It can restrict movement, reduce blood flow and increase sensitivity in the surrounding joints and nerves.

We use deep tissue massage, trigger point release and myofascial work to break down tight bands of muscle. This improves oxygen delivery, reduces fatigue and restores a more relaxed, balanced muscle tone.

Sports Injuries

This type of therapy is highly effective in managing both acute and long-term sports injuries. It helps reduce swelling, improve tissue healing and prevent further strain by promoting proper muscle function.

We treat common conditions like calf strains, hamstring tears, rotator cuff tightness and ITB friction. Treatment is always guided by your injury stage, training level and recovery goals.

Chronic Pain

Persistent pain often stems from tight or dysfunctional soft tissue. Over time, the body may adapt to tension patterns that create ongoing discomfort, limited movement and increased fatigue.

Our treatment helps break this cycle by loosening affected tissue and improving movement control. We also teach post-treatment mobility and strengthening exercises to help maintain results.

Muscle Stiffness

Stiffness after training, injury or inactivity is often due to restricted fascia or muscle fibre shortening. Soft tissue therapy can help restore elasticity and ease pressure on affected joints.

We use a range of techniques depending on the location and severity of the stiffness. Clients often notice improved flexibility, reduced pain and better performance in their chosen activity.

Flexibility and Recovery

Regular soft tissue work supports general flexibility, reduces post-exercise soreness and improves recovery between training sessions. It also helps reduce tension from day-to-day stress and repetitive movement.

We tailor each session to your body and lifestyle, ensuring the right balance between release, relaxation and restoration. Whether you’re training hard or sitting at a desk all day, soft tissue therapy can support better movement and faster recovery.

You’ll finish with a stronger, more efficient movement base that supports long-term health.help you get back to doing what you love, pain-free and confident.

FAQS

What is soft tissue therapy?

Soft tissue therapy is hands-on treatment focused on muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. It’s used to relieve pain, reduce tension and restore movement through techniques like massage and myofascial release.

Is it the same as massage?

Not exactly. While it includes massage techniques, soft tissue therapy is more clinical and targeted. It focuses on treating specific dysfunctions or pain sources, not just relaxation.

Does it hurt?

Some discomfort can occur, especially when working on tight or inflamed areas. We always work within your tolerance and adjust pressure based on your needs. Most people feel relief after the session.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition, goals and how your body responds. Some clients benefit from just one or two sessions. Others use soft tissue therapy as part of an ongoing maintenance or recovery plan.

Can I claim it on my health fund?

Yes, if soft tissue therapy is delivered under a chiropractic appointment and your cover includes chiropractic extras. We can issue invoices for claiming after each visit.

Will it help with posture?

Yes. By releasing tension in postural muscles, soft tissue therapy can improve alignment and reduce compensatory strain. We may also recommend exercises to support better posture between sessions.
