Soft Tissue Treatment (STT)

Soft Tissue Treatment (STT)

What is Soft Tissue Treatment (STT) ?

It involves the assessment, treatment and follow-up of tissues like ligaments, cartilages, muscles, tendons and fascia. The common soft tissue injuries are sprains, contusions, ligament tears, tendonitis and bursitis. This is mostly done in sports medicine and/or for people with said injuries. There are different types of soft tissue treatments ranging from heat/cold therapies to myofascial pain relief by massage, stretching, electrotherapy, tissue mobilizations and hold-release techniques. All these treatments are structured to provide pain relief, increase the tissue length, increase the tissue mobility, strength, fasten the healing and reduce swelling.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • The basic steps in relieving pain from a soft tissue injury even before the soft tissue therapy starts are – rest, application of ice in the form of cold packs, compression of the area to avoid further swelling and elevating the area to reduce the swelling.

Different types of STT and their procedure,

  • Massage – deep massage that targets the pain trigger points along the sprained area with the help of some topical analgesics,
  • Heat/cold/electrotherapy – application of hot or cold stimulus to change the muscle tone and application of an electric stimulus to fasten the healing process,
  • Stretches/ tissue mobilization – static or dynamic stretches which help in the knotted muscle loosening up, thus increasing its mobility,
  • Post isometric relaxation and hold-release therapy to bring a slight stretch into the muscles followed by a slow and steady release.

Magnetic Therapy

It is a type of physiotherapy and pain management that takes advantage of the minuscule magnetic energy present in all cells of an individual’s body. When the magnetic field created by the magnetic therapy unit comes in contact or is placed near that of the human body, the human body’s cells and their disturbed magnetic fields align to that of the machine, thus, getting rid of the pain. . This is done in patients suffering from fibromyalgia pain, headaches, lower back pain, insomnia, arthritis, poor wound healing, trauma pain and more
