Soft tissues conditions are a result of an injury which can occur from:
Acute conditions such as a pull, tear or trauma and therefore there is build up of chronic tightness.
Accumulation of small tears referred to as ‘micro traumas’.
Not getting enough oxygen to the tissues (hypoxia).
Sudden traumas initiating muscular tears, adhesion and scar tissue.
When there is an injury, the body naturally produces scar tissue. The scar tissue build up affects the soft tissue which is designed to move freely. This can cause a reduced range of motion, loss of strength and stability and induce pain, weakness and sometimes numbness.
What happens during your treatment?
The treatment is a combination of examination and hands-on treatment. Dr. Voth first performs a thorough assessment to investigate the underlying cause of the problem in order to prepare a report of findings, advice and a customised treatment plan. The treatment can be at times slightly uncomfortable during the movement phases as the scar tissue or adhesions “break up”. This is temporary and subsides almost immediately after the treatment. It is common to feel a duplication of your symptoms during the treatment, a good indication that the problem has been identified. Treatments are about 10-15 minutes depending on what areas of the body are being treated and results typically are felt or demonstrated immediately.
