The first part of the treatment is a warm-up. Areas of the soft tissue fibrosis are moved to make the scar tissue more receptive. A stainless steel tool is used to follow the affected soft tissue injury. The edge of the tool slowly slides along the skin surface and comes into contact with what is known as adhesions. Its scar tissue, and the clinician rubs over the adhesions with the tool to cause movement.
At Applied Physical Medicine founded in Tucson, AZ, we use soft tissue mobilization technique that treats a wide number of conditions, including quadricep pain, rotator cuff pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and even headaches. This technique has had proven results for patients.
