What Is Soft Tissue Therapy?
Soft tissue therapy encompasses a range of hands-on techniques applied to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia of the body. These techniques are used to address restrictions, adhesions, scar tissue, and overuse-related changes that can contribute to pain, limited mobility, and poor movement quality.
At VAL Chiropractic in San Jose, soft tissue therapy is integrated with chiropractic adjustments as part of a comprehensive care approach. Dr. Lam Nguyen, D.C. uses soft tissue work to complement spinal care — addressing both the joint and the surrounding muscle and fascia together.
Soft tissue therapy at VAL Chiropractic is targeted and specific — based on what Dr. Nguyen identifies in your evaluation — rather than a generalized relaxation approach.
Who Benefits from Soft Tissue Therapy?
- Athletes and active adults — addressing muscle tightness, overuse issues, and aiding sports recovery
- Personal injury patients — treating soft tissue damage from car accidents or trauma
- Office workers and desk-based professionals — addressing chronic muscle tension from prolonged sitting and screen work
