Soft tissue care
Hands-on work on muscles and tendons, used with movement and a written plan.
Your doctor uses pressure, stretching and movement on the muscles and tendons around a hurt area, and tells you what they are doing before they do it. You stay clothed and you set the pressure.

Questions
Questions about soft tissue care
Do I have to take off my clothes?
No. You stay clothed, and we use towels or a sheet when an area needs to be reached.
Is it a massage?
It is hands-on care directed by your doctor as part of your plan. It is not a spa massage, and whether a payer allows it is the payer's decision.
Can I ask you to stop?
Yes, any time, for any reason.
