Soft Tissue Therapy Canberra

Soft Tissue Therapy is a treatment oriented massage therapy which has been derived out of the sports medicine industry, it deals with the assessment and treatment of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.

Soft tissue represents the muscles, fascia (connective tissue), ligaments and tendons which are prone to overuse, overloading, shortening and lengthening which produce all kinds of aches, pains and injuries.

One of the primary goals of remedial massage is to speed-up blood return from the extremities (arms and legs). It will shorten recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissue of lactic acid, uric acid and other metabolic wastes.
