In medicine, the term soft tissue refers to tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body. Soft tissue includes muscles, fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, and synovial tissues.[1]
Injuries
Often soft tissue injuries are some of the most chronically painful and difficult to treat because it is very difficult to see what is going on under the skin with the soft connective tissues, fascia, joints, muscles and tendons.
Musculoskeletal specialists and neuromuscular physiologist and neurologist specialize in treating injuries and ailments in the soft tissue areas of the body. These specialized clinicians often develop innovative ways to manipulate the soft tissue to speed natural healing and relieve the mysterious pain that often accompanies soft tissue injuries. This area of expertise has become known as Soft Tissue Therapy and is rapidly expanding as the technology continues to improve the ability of these specialists to identify problem areas more quickly.
