Soft Tissue Release

Soft Tissue Release is a hands-on, manual therapy technique used to stretch soft tissues, especially muscles, fascia, and tendons. The goal of soft tissue release is to permanently treat the source of pain by addressing common elements of soft tissue dysfunction:

1. Trigger Points: Trigger points are palpable knots in muscle tissue. The presence of trigger points in a muscle can cause pain and shortening of the muscle (called hypertonicity). Hypertonicity is excessive muscle tone (firmness) compared to how a normal, resting muscle feels to the touch.

2. Scar Tissue (fibrosis): 疤痕組織在全身形成以響應組織損傷，以暫時修復損傷部位，直到形成更堅固、更永久的組織。在正常癒合過程中，大多數臨時疤痕組織在永久性組織形成後會被重新吸收到體內。有時，癒合過程被打亂，形成過多的疤痕組織，對周圍的肌肉、血管、神經、骨骼和器官施加過大的壓力。這會導致疼痛和/或限制關節的活動範圍。

3. Myofascial Restriction: 與蜘蛛俠的套裝包裹身體的方式類似，筋膜是堅固的結締組織，將我們的身體從頭到腳包裹起來。通常，筋膜是有彈性的，能夠響應身體的運動而伸展和縮短。事故、創傷、手術、疤痕組織、壓力、不良姿勢和不良的身體力學會降低筋膜的彈性，導致疼痛和活動範圍受限。
