Serious injuries? Repetitive strains-overuse? I've had my share! Enough to know that skillfull,specific,manual soft tissue manipulation is often an irreplacceable component of optimal rehabilitation. It remains under appreciated,how much easily relieved pain arises from circulation restricting tightness. Muscles trapped in a vicious cycle of tension are unable to obtain adequate benefit from our efforts to regain strength-function. Very often there are noxious sites at some distance from where we actually feel the dominant pain-weakness,that keep the problem recurring.
