Overview
Thermo-Enhanced Soft Tissue Techniques combine manual therapy with the use of heat, such as sauna exposure or heated compresses. Applying heat before and during treatment improves tissue elasticity, increases blood circulation, reduces muscle tension, and prepares the body for deeper and more effective manual work.
This method is especially useful for addressing chronic muscular and fascial restrictions, promoting natural recovery without invasive procedures.
Dysfunctions Treated with Thermo-Assisted Soft Tissue Techniques
Musculoskeletal and Postural Issues
- Back pain (especially lower back pain)
- Neck stiffness and cervical tension
- Shoulder pain and restricted mobility
- Muscular strains and overuse injuries
- Restricted joint range of motion
- Sciatica and nerve entrapment syndromes (via soft tissue compression)
Head and Facial Symptoms
- Headaches and tension-type migraines
- Facial tightness due to fascial restrictions
Fascial Dysfunction
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Fascial adhesions and fibrosis
- Trigger points and referred pain
- Loss of tissue pliability and elasticity
- Chronic tension and tissue dehydration
Systemic and Functional Complaints
- Fatigue due to inefficient muscular mechanics
- Impaired circulation (venous and lymphatic congestion)
- Reduced flexibility and athletic performance
- Emotional and physical stress stored in the musculature
