Soft tissue release is the physical action of the release of muscles and other soft tissue to help return the tissue to its normal length and function. Soft tissue release includes hands on treatment by the therapist to release the tissues or using an instrument to assist in the release of the tissues (eg. foam roller, Graston). There are many different types and methods of soft tissue release available and your therapist will be able to assess your injury and include the best type of soft tissue release for your injury.
