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.
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 the 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.
