Soft Tissue Manipulation/Stretching

Dr. Larsen utilizes multiple soft tissue techniques in his practice in order to reduce muscle spasms. Some techniques used in the office are Myofascial Release, and Neuromuscular therapy. Myofascial Release focuses on stretching affected muscles.Certain injuries, such as strains and sprains, involve muscles that already are over-stretched. In such situations, an appropriate method would be Positional Release, which involves addressing trigger points and placing muscle fibers in a position that is more comfortable for the patient. Injuries and scar tissue tend to cause distortions to muscle fiber, which contribute to the patient’s discomfort.
