Soft Tissue Therapy, also known as Myofascial Release Therapy (MRT), is a specialized treatment targeting tension and dysfunction in:
-
Muscles
-
Tendons
-
Ligaments
-
Fascia (connective tissue)
This approach addresses the root cause of chronic pain, restricted movement, and musculoskeletal disorders.
