Soft Tissue Release is a useful technique in the management and treatment of injured or damaged tissue. When muscles, tendons, fascia, nerves, and surrounding soft tissues become overloaded or overworked, the result is fibrotic scarring and adhesions. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped, you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness.
Overuse syndrome and repetitive stress injuries are collectively referred to as cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). These disorders respond very favorable to soft tissue release. This includes carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, rotator cuff syndrome, chronic lower-back pain, sciatica, flexion/extension hypermobile injury (whiplash), hamstring strains, knee pain, ankle sprains, plantar fascitis, and post-operative scar tissue.
