WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

Soft Tissue Release is a highly effective manual therapy approach that combines specific therapist-applied pressure with active or passive movement to improve tissue mobility, reduce muscular tension and restore normal movement patterns.
Its versatility makes it an excellent addition to any therapist’s clinical toolkit, allowing techniques to be adapted for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and patient presentations.
STR can be used alongside sports massage, soft tissue therapy, mobilisation, rehabilitation exercise programmes and broader manual therapy treatment plans, making it a practical skill that can be immediately incorporated into everyday clinical practice.
