Overview
Soft tissue therapy targets the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that often take the brunt of impact in a car accident. Whether it's soreness, tension, or reduced mobility, this treatment is designed to help your body recover through hands-on techniques like myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and other forms of manual care.
At Accident Care Clinic, soft tissue therapy is often combined with other treatments such as chiropractic adjustments, stretching, or electrical muscle stimulation. Our goal is to relieve discomfort, improve movement, and help restore your body’s balance after an injury.
Common Signs Soft Tissue Therapy May Help
You feel ongoing muscle tightness or tenderness
Movement feels limited due to soft tissue tension
Specific points in your muscles feel painful when pressed
You notice soreness or stiffness around your neck, back, or shoulders
Your range of motion hasn’t returned since your accident
What to Expect During Treatment
Your provider may use a range of techniques to relieve tension and support healing. This could include light sustained pressure (as in myofascial release), direct work on painful muscle knots (trigger points), or rhythmic mobilization to improve movement and reduce discomfort. Each session is adjusted based on your injury and tolerance, and care is always delivered with your comfort and long-term recovery in mind.

Soft Tissue Therapy - FAQs
What’s the difference between soft tissue therapy and massage?
Soft tissue therapy is medically focused and includes techniques like myofascial release and trigger point therapy. It targets injury recovery and movement restoration — not just relaxation.
What symptoms does soft tissue therapy treat after an accident?
It’s commonly used for whiplash, neck and back pain, muscle spasms, tenderness, and stiffness — especially when movement feels limited or uncomfortable.
Does soft tissue therapy help with tension headaches?
Yes — tension in the neck and upper back is a common trigger for headaches. Soft tissue work in those areas can help reduce frequency and intensity.
Is soft tissue therapy painful?
It may cause temporary sensitivity in some areas, especially when working on tight or inflamed tissue. Your provider will adjust the intensity to your comfort level.
Is this therapy covered by auto insurance?
In most cases, yes. Soft tissue therapy is usually included in accident-related claims. Our staff will help with the paperwork so you can focus on healing.
