An Effective Therapy
STMs are used to increase the range of motion, decrease perceived stiffness, and reduce trigger points and myofascial pain. These techniques can be used before certain rehabilitation and physical therapy exercises to promote optimal movement and motor output.
Reviews from Students
"Very useful !! Super cool teacher and super clear with explanations (i'm a french speaker and it's easy to understand )"
-Sarah V.
"This course helped me understand the soft tissue release and mobilization of the glute and lower back realizing again that those muscles and tendons are connected some kind of way. Also the different tendons that can cause knee stiffness and pain when it's really not the knees."
-Jocelyn H.
"This course was very informative in terms of anatomy and physiology of how the STM works. Very easy to follow and then practice afterwards. Thank you."
-Micheal M.
What are Soft Tissue Mobilizations?
Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM) is an umbrella term used to describe manual, hands-on techniques that manipulate and promote the movement of soft tissues such as fascia, muscles, tendons, etc.
You will see the term applied to many different forms of manual therapy, however, we focus on the utilization of movement, both active and passive, during the manual manipulation of tissue.
