SOFT TISSUE THERAPY
Chiropractors and osteopaths may also use the following techniques which can encourage
relaxation of tense muscles and tight fascia:
• tissue stretches
• traction (Figure 14.8)
• deep pressure
• massage
• myofascial or sustained positional release: the tissues are taken to a point where they
restrict further movement and held in that position until they relax (Figure 14.9).
