Soft Tissue Therapy vs Sports Massage, what should I choose?
Posted on 3rd September 2024 at 10:01
Soft tissue therapists are trained in a variety of techniques including massage, muscle energy technique and soft tissue release.
They may also use joint mobilisation or articulation to achieve a greater range of motion and reduce pain. Other benefits include:
Reducing the risk and severity of injury
Improve muscle balance and increase day to day or sporting performance
Improve circulation which can aid toxin and metabolic waste removal
Improved posture and flexibility throughout joints
Psychological and physical relaxation
Can reach the bits you can’t stretch
Tailored to you!
Although sports is a common factor with many people using soft tissue therapy, this is far from being the main issue dealt with. Soft tissue therapy is appropriate regardless of age, gender, level of fitness – there’s no need to own sports kit! You can find our very own Soft Tissue Therapist, Lottie, at our Milton-Under-Wychwood clinic near Chipping Norton.
Sports massage therapists are manual therapists who specialise in releasing soft tissue. Their treatment can be tailored based on the severity and phase of recovery. Other benefits include:
Improving muscle function
Accelerates tissue repair
Increase joint range of motion
Promote recovery and reduce chance of muscular injury
Reduce muscle tension spasms
