Soft Tissue Therapy in Austin, TX
Muscle tension, knots, and tightness are some of the most common reasons people struggle with pain and limited movement. Whether caused by poor posture, repetitive stress, sports injuries, or everyday wear and tear, tight muscles can place extra strain on your joints and spine, making it harder for your body to function the way it should.
At Back ’n Place Chiropractic in Austin, Dr. Nick Fourie incorporates soft-tissue therapy into care plans to help patients release muscle tension, reduce pain, and recover faster. When combined with chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue therapy can make care more effective and long-lasting.
What Is Soft-Tissue Therapy?
Soft-tissue therapy involves hands-on techniques that target muscles, tendons, and ligaments to reduce tension and improve flexibility. By addressing the muscles that support the spine and joints, soft-tissue therapy helps restore balance to the body.
Dr. Nick often uses a few minutes of focused soft-tissue work during a visit to help patients feel more comfortable and make adjustments easier and more effective.
