More about Accelr8
Muscle and Fascia Physiology is the prime focus of a soft tissue therapist. This aspect of an injury is often overlooked by physiotherapists, chiropractors and GP’s. In Particular the focus of a treatment session is on referred pain from myofascial trigger points, which are in summary, tender points in soft tissue that radiate or refer pain to distant areas.
Soft Tissue Therapy is a science, which incorporates remedial massage, trigger point therapy and other modalities, with of course accompanying exercise and strength training. A constant build-up of tension in the muscles from regular activity, or postural dysfunction through your occupation may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments, tendons, as well as the muscles themselves. Often if left, this can become a chronic problem, leading to further injuries, or consistent aggravation of the initial injury. A Soft Tissue Therapist will be able to detect variations in the soft tissues, reduce muscle tension and restore balance to the musculoskeletal system.
If at any stage a Soft Tissue Therapist at Accelr8 Rehab thinks that the injury or dysfunction is beynd their knowledge, the appropriate referral will be made to a Sports Physician, physiotherapist or another allied health professional.
