Soft Tissue Therapy
Aid your recovery or guard against injury with the help of soft tissue therapy. Like a massage, it works on a deeper level to manage, manipulate and rehabilitate the muscles, tendons and ligaments within your body. It’s great for sports people, but also beneficial if you’re recovering from a soft tissue injury – or want to protect yourself from getting one.
Effective and efficient results
- Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
- Help remove metabolic waste
- Sedate or stimulate nerve endings
- Increase or decrease muscle tone or muscle length
Although soft tissue therapy works wonders for sports people, it can be useful for many day-to-day conditions too – from repetitive strain injury, to sprains, tension or fatigue. And it’s just as effective at preventing problems as it is at relieving them.
From Active Release to Lymphatic Drainage, Trigger Point Therapy to Myofascial Release – our experts use a range of techniques to treat a variety of conditions. If you want to keep your body in top-notch sporting condition, soft tissue therapy can also help you to perform well during training, before and after competitions, or when you need a bit of extra help to recover from an injury.
How it works
Soft tissue therapy is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of the muscles, tendons and ligaments within your body. It’s a bit like a massage, but it stimulates the large, fast nerve fibres, while blocking the small, slower nerve fibres that detect pain. As this happens, your body releases hormones such as serotonin which help to reduce pain.
Our APPI-trained Physiotherapists use all of the latest tools and techniques to target specific soft tissues, including:
- Active release
- Myofascial release
- Deep transverse friction massage
- Kinesiology taping
- Lymphatic drainage
- Trigger point therapy
- Ultrasound

Soft Tissue Therapy is a specialised treatment. It focuses on the management, manipulation, and rehabilitation of the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It’s similar to massage but works on a deeper level to aid recovery, improve circulation, and guard against injury.
Soft Tissue Therapy can improve circulation and lymphatic flow, help remove metabolic waste, and adjust muscle tone or length. It helps with sports and everyday issues like strain, sprains, tension, or fatigue.
While similar to a massage, soft tissue therapy goes deeper. The therapy uses techniques like trigger points and myofascial release, to target specific issues in the soft tissues of the body. It offers more focused and effective results, and needs to be delivered by more qualified therapists such as Physios.
Conditions treated include sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, sprains, tension, fatigue, and other issues affecting the connective tissue, muscles, and range of movement.
Injuries treated include sports-related injuries, muscle strains, ligament sprains, and issues arising from overuse or repetitive movements.
