How can soft tissue massage help?

Soft tissue massager techniques are used to:

  • Reduce tension
  • Promote healing and
  • Restore normal function.
What types of massage techniques are used and why?

Our therapist may use some or all of the below soft-tissue massage techniques depending on your needs and suitability:

  • Effleurage – warming the area and increasing blood flow using light massage strokes. 
  • Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) – This is stretching technique uses the contraction and relaxation of the muscles to create an effective and gradual stretch. This helps to improve flexibility and range of movement. 
  • Trigger point treatment – When we press and hold onto the trigger area or muscle knot to release it. This may feel uncomfortable to begin with, but any discomfort will ease off after a few seconds as the area releases. 
  • Deep Transverse Frictions – This is a deep and targeted massage that we apply using long movements- it helps to align soft-tissue fibres and breaks down scar tissues.
  • Myofascial release – This technique is used to reduce tightness by releasing and stretching the thin layer of connective tissue surrounding the muscle called the fascia.
