Hands-on soft-tissue care to reduce tightness and improve circulation and flexibility.
Our soft tissue therapy targets muscle tightness, fascia restrictions, and postural strain. These techniques improve blood flow, relieve discomfort, and restore movement. At Our Chiro Brisbane, muscle release therapy works alongside spinal adjustments to enhance recovery and mobility.
Muscle release and soft tissue techniques are hands-on therapies used to reduce tension, improve flexibility, and restore healthy muscle and fascia function. At Our Chiro Brisbane, these methods are often combined with chiropractic care to address the soft-tissue restrictions that can contribute to joint stiffness, pain, or poor movement patterns.
Treatment involves applying controlled pressure, stretching, or friction to specific areas of tightness or adhesion. This helps break down scar tissue, improve blood flow, and encourage the muscles to relax and move freely again. The approach is adapted to each patient’s condition and comfort, ranging from gentle mobilisation to deeper, more focused release work.
Muscle release and soft tissue therapy may assist with:
Sessions often complement other treatment approaches such as manual adjustment, rehabilitation exercises, or kinesio taping.
At Our Chiro Brisbane, these techniques are used to restore normal tissue function and improve movement efficiency. The result is smoother mobility, reduced discomfort, and better long-term musculoskeletal balance.
Muscle release and soft tissue techniques are a variety of hands-on therapies that address tension, tightness, and pain in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia (connective tissue). These techniques aim to improve muscle function, increase flexibility, and promote healing.
While massage can include some soft tissue work, muscle release and soft tissue techniques are often more specific and targeted. They focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of muscle tension and dysfunction, rather than just providing general relaxation.
Our practitioners utilize a variety of techniques, including:
Muscle release and soft tissue techniques offer numerous benefits, such as:
These techniques can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
Your practitioner will conduct a thorough assessment to identify areas of muscle tension and dysfunction. They will then apply the appropriate techniques to address your specific needs. You may experience some discomfort during the treatment, but it should not be painful.
Sessions typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and your individual needs.
The frequency of treatment will depend on your condition and goals. Your practitioner will recommend a treatment plan that’s right for you.
Many health insurance plans offer coverage for these techniques, especially if they are part of a treatment plan for a specific condition. Check with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage.

Muscle release and soft tissue techniques are hands-on methods used in chiropractic care to help reduce tension, improve mobility, and restore normal muscle function. These approaches focus on the body’s muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons (the soft tissues that support and move the skeleton). When these tissues become tight or restricted through stress, poor posture, or injury, they can affect movement patterns and place extra strain on joints and the spine.
Soft tissue techniques may include methods such as myofascial release, stretching, and specific pressure or mobilisation of affected areas. The aim is to break down adhesions (tight or stuck tissue), increase blood flow, and help the muscle fibres return to a more relaxed, functional state. This can support the body’s natural ability to move freely and recover from strain.
Muscle release techniques, in particular, often combine active movement with direct pressure. A practitioner may guide the patient through a controlled stretch while applying pressure to a specific area of tension. This helps retrain the muscle to move through its full range of motion while reducing tightness and improving flexibility.
These techniques are often used alongside chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, and posture correction. By releasing tight tissue and improving muscle elasticity, the body can respond more effectively to structural alignment and maintain those improvements for longer.
People who sit for long hours, perform repetitive tasks, or engage in sports often benefit from this type of therapy. While not a cure for underlying medical conditions, regular soft tissue work can help prevent stiffness, support joint mobility, and improve general comfort in everyday movement.
Another treatment method we use at the clinic, often in combination with other approaches, is soft tissue therapy. This includes various techniques targeting muscles, lymphatic tissue, and tendons.
Examples include traditional massage, though our work tends to be more specific and focused around trigger points. Trigger points are small, tender areas in the muscle that can cause pain or tightness, and we work directly on these to help release tension.
Another technique we use is Active Release Technique, or ART. In this method, the patient performs certain movements while pressure is applied to the affected muscle or soft tissue. It’s very effective for conditions such as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), hamstring strains, and gluteal issues like glute medius tightness or insufficiency.
We use soft tissue therapy and its related techniques for a wide range of conditions, and it’s highly effective when combined with other treatments.

Cannot rate this practice highly enough! Both Kat and Simon are lovely and very professional. I was a little skeptical at my first appointment but in just a few short weeks I’ve noticed a huge difference in my comfort levels and range of movement. Highly recommend a visit to either Kat or Simon
