Soft Tissue Mobilization

Soft tissue mobilization therapy is an innovative technique that can address soft tissue injuries and pain. At Dr. Sophia Argeropoulos’ office, our chiropractor in Setauket will determine the source of your pain and provide mobilization therapy to address your unique needs. Continue reading to learn more about how this treatment works and how it can potentially benefit you. 

What is Soft Tissue Mobilization Therapy?

Soft tissues can be found throughout your entire body. Soft tissues surround and connect your organs and other tissues, and they include your fat, muscle, skin, nerves, fascia, and ligaments. Soft tissue mobilization is a form of manual therapy that uses stretching and deep pressure to relieve muscle tension, reduce scar tissue, and stretch and lengthen fascia. Our chiropractor in Setauket uses soft tissue mobilization therapy to treat certain kinds of soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue injuries can include the following:

  • Sprains and strains. 
  • Tendonitis.
  • Contusions.
  • Bursitis.
  • Stress injuries. 
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome. 
  • Shoulder impingement. 
  • Back, neck, knee, and hip pain. 

Injuries in the soft tissues typically occur when your muscles are tense. If you don’t address your stiff and tight muscles, it can lead to a world of pain that can be debilitating. We will utilize a hands-on technique on your fascia, muscles, and ligaments during soft tissue mobilization therapy to optimize your muscle function and break adhesions. Some of the different techniques our chiropractor in Setauket may use include the following:

  • Friction massage.
  • Sustained pressure. 
  • Direct oscillations.
  • Parallel and perpendicular mobilization. 
  • Trigger point therapy.
  • Myofascial release.

Benefits of Soft Tissue Mobilization

When your soft tissue function is diminished after an injury, it can be difficult to participate in athletic activities or perform your daily tasks. The primary goal of soft tissue mobilization therapy is to restore function and provide pain relief. Our experienced team specializes in this treatment and may combine this treatment with other forms of chiropractic care to create a well-rounded, personalized healing plan so that you can achieve the best results.
