Soft Tissue Tools

Soft Tissue Tools

Soft tissue tools are hand-held instruments used along muscle, tendon, and fascia in areas of tightness. They allow pressure to be applied to a small, specific area. At Complete Care, they may be used as one part of a rehabilitation plan.

How It Fits Into Care

In general, the areas treated are chosen based on the findings of the evaluation.

• Diagnostic Ultrasound — may be used to image the muscles and tendons involved.
• Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy — another modality sometimes used as part of muscle and joint care.
• Computerized Range-of-Motion Testing — used to measure range of motion over a course of care.
