Relieve Tension. Improve Mobility. Increase Recovery.

At Fortify Chiropractic and Sports Rehab, soft tissue mobilization is a core part of our hands-on approach to restoring movement, reducing pain, and optimizing performance. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with chronic tightness, or managing overuse issues, this targeted therapy helps your muscles and connective tissues heal properly and function efficiently.

​

What Is Soft Tissue Mobilization?

Soft tissue mobilization is a manual therapy technique designed to reduce muscle tension, break down scar tissue, and improve mobility in the muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments. Using specific pressure and movement patterns, our providers address tight, restricted, or overworked areas to promote healing and restore normal movement patterns.

Unlike general massage, soft tissue mobilization is goal-oriented and often integrated into a broader treatment plan to support long-term recovery and performance.

​

Conditions Treated with Soft Tissue Mobilization

This therapy is commonly used to treat:

  • Muscle strains and sprains

  • Tendonitis and overuse injuries

  • Myofascial pain and trigger points

  • Post-surgical or injury-related scar tissue

  • Shin splints

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Tight hamstrings, quads, IT bands, and calves

  • Neck, shoulder, and low back tension

It’s especially effective for athletes, active individuals, and patients looking to move better and recover faster.

​

Benefits of Soft Tissue Mobilization

Patients often notice improvement in both how they feel and how they move. Benefits include:

  • Decreased muscle tightness and spasms

  • Improved flexibility and range of motion

  • Faster recovery from injury

  • Reduced inflammation and pain

  • Improved blood flow and tissue repair

  • Enhanced athletic performance

Soft tissue mobilization is frequently combined with chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, and stretching for the best outcomes.
