This causes a cascade of healing activities resulting in remodeling of affected soft tissue structures. Adhesions within the soft tissue which may have developed as a result of:
By removing fascial restrictions, not only does it increase joint range of motion but it also allows the clinician to start retraining and rehabbing the patient properly preventing the reoccurrence of pain.
