Soft tissue mobilization is a specialized hands-on technique used by physical therapists to address musculoskeletal issues and promote healing. Through gentle manipulation of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, this therapy aims to alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and restore function.

During a session, the therapist applies controlled pressure and movement to targeted areas, releasing tension, breaking up scar tissue, and enhancing blood flow to the affected area. This technique is particularly effective for addressing conditions like muscle strains, tendonitis, and repetitive stress injuries. Soft tissue mobilization is often integrated into comprehensive treatment plans to complement other therapies such as exercise, stretching, and modalities like heat or ice therapy, ultimately facilitating the body's natural healing process and promoting optimal recovery.
