Soft Tissue Massage
Targeted Relief. Lasting Results.
At Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub, we believe healing starts at the foundation—your muscles, fascia, and connective tissues. That’s why we offer advanced soft tissue massage therapy as a cornerstone of our holistic treatment approach.
Soft tissue massage is a hands-on therapy designed to relieve tension, break down adhesions (commonly known as “knots”), restore mobility, and reduce pain in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply need to unwind tight muscles, this technique provides deep, therapeutic relief.
What Is Soft Tissue Massage?
Soft Tissue Massage involves a variety of manual techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, cross-fiber friction, and deep tissue manipulation. These techniques are used to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing by increasing oxygen flow to the muscles and flushing out metabolic waste.
Unlike relaxation massage, soft tissue therapy is clinical and outcome-based, often integrated with chiropractic care to correct muscle imbalances, improve posture, and support long-term spinal health.

Conditions We Often Treat
with Soft Tissue Massage:
At Reform, our chiropractors specialize in customized care plans that focus on both immediate relief and long-term wellness.
Sciatica & Lower Back Pain
Sciatica and lower back pain are two of the most common conditions we see at Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub—and soft tissue massage plays a critical role in how we treat them.
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, often due to tight muscles like the piriformis, or inflammation in the lower spine. Similarly, lower back pain can be caused by strained muscles, restricted fascia, or overworked soft tissues surrounding the lumbar spine.
Soft Tissue Massage helps by reducing muscle tension, releasing trigger points, and improving blood flow to the affected area. This decreases pressure on the sciatic nerve and surrounding structures, alleviates pain, and restores mobility. We focus on targeted muscle groups like the glutes, hamstrings, and paraspinal muscles to relieve nerve compression and support proper alignment. By addressing these underlying muscular issues, soft tissue therapy not only eases discomfort—it helps correct the root cause and prevents recurrence.
Neck Stiffness & Whiplash
Neck stiffness and whiplash are often the result of sudden trauma, poor posture, or chronic tension—and soft tissue massage is one of the most effective ways we address these issues at Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub.
Whiplash commonly occurs after auto accidents or falls, causing the neck to snap back and forth rapidly. This motion strains the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the cervical spine, leading to pain, inflammation, reduced range of motion, and protective muscle guarding. Neck stiffness can also stem from prolonged screen time, stress, or poor sleeping posture, creating persistent tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back.
Our soft tissue massage techniques target these strained and overworked muscles—especially the sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and deep cervical extensors. By gently releasing adhesions, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation, we help restore mobility, ease nerve impingement, and relieve pain. Combined with chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy not only supports faster recovery but also helps prevent chronic stiffness and postural imbalances from setting in.
Shoulder Impingement & Frozen Shoulder
Shoulder pain—whether caused by impingement or frozen shoulder—can severely limit daily activities, and soft tissue massage is a key part of our approach to restoring function and relieving discomfort.
Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become compressed between the bones of the shoulder joint, often due to inflammation, poor posture, or muscular imbalance. Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), on the other hand, involves a gradual tightening and thickening of the shoulder capsule, severely restricting movement and causing pain.
At Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub, we use soft tissue massage to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and break down adhesions in the muscles and fascia surrounding the shoulder. By targeting muscles like the deltoid, rotator cuff group (especially supraspinatus and infraspinatus), pec minor, and upper back stabilizers, we help restore proper motion and relieve the muscular tension that contributes to joint restriction.
This hands-on therapy is particularly effective when combined with chiropractic adjustments and mobility exercises, accelerating recovery and helping patients regain strength, range of motion, and confidence in their shoulder movement.
TMJ Dysfunction
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can cause jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and even neck tension—and soft tissue massage is one of the most effective ways we relieve those symptoms and restore natural jaw function.
TMJ dysfunction occurs when the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull becomes misaligned, inflamed, or overly tense. This can result from teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, stress, poor posture, or trauma. The surrounding muscles—like the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles—often become tight or develop painful trigger points, which further restrict jaw movement and contribute to chronic discomfort.
At Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub, we use precise soft tissue massage techniques to release tension in these key muscle groups. By improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and gently working out adhesions in the jaw and neck area, we help restore proper joint motion and reduce pain. This approach not only improves function and comfort but also supports long-term relief when combined with postural correction, stress reduction, and chiropractic care.
If you’re experiencing jaw clicking, pain while chewing, or tension headaches, soft tissue therapy can provide the relief you’ve been searching for—without relying on medication or invasive treatment.
Sports Injuries & Repetitive Strain Injuries
Whether you’re a competitive athlete or simply active in daily life, soft tissue massage plays a vital role in recovering from sports injuries and repetitive strain.
Sports injuries—like muscle strains, sprains, tendonitis, or overuse injuries—often result from intense training, improper technique, or lack of recovery. Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and runner’s knee, develop gradually due to repeated motion and microtrauma to muscles and connective tissues.
At Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub, our soft tissue massage techniques are designed to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and restore functional movement. By targeting the overworked or injured muscles, tendons, and fascia, we break down adhesions, improve circulation, and release built-up tension. This not only helps relieve pain but also prevents compensation patterns and further injury.
We tailor each session based on the specific sport or activity that caused the injury, ensuring focused care that promotes long-term performance and recovery. Whether you’re trying to get back on the field or just back to your routine, soft tissue therapy is a game-changer in your healing process.
Postural Imbalances
Poor posture doesn’t just look uncomfortable—it creates chronic tension, fatigue, and pain throughout the body. Soft tissue massage is a powerful tool we use at Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub to correct these imbalances at the muscular level.
Postural imbalances develop over time from habits like prolonged sitting, screen use, improper lifting, or asymmetrical activities (like carrying a bag on one shoulder). These habits cause certain muscles to become overactive and tight, while others become weak and underused—leading to issues like forward head posture, rounded shoulders, anterior pelvic tilt, and chronic neck or back pain.
Soft tissue massage addresses these dysfunctions by releasing tight muscles and fascia, breaking down adhesions, and restoring healthy muscle tone. We focus on common problem areas such as the upper trapezius, pectorals, hip flexors, and spinal erectors—helping the body regain its natural alignment and symmetry. By improving mobility and reducing tension, soft tissue work lays the groundwork for effective posture correction and lasting structural balance.
When paired with chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercises, this integrative approach doesn’t just relieve pain—it rewires your movement patterns for long-term postural health.
Headaches & Migraines
Chronic headaches and migraines can be debilitating—but soft tissue massage offers a natural, effective way to reduce their frequency and intensity by addressing the muscular and structural imbalances that often trigger them.
Many tension headaches and even certain migraines are linked to tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, jaw, and upper back. Poor posture, stress, TMJ dysfunction, or previous trauma can all contribute to chronic tension in these areas, which restricts blood flow and irritates the nerves that supply the head and scalp.
At Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub, we use targeted soft tissue massage to release tension in key muscle groups such as the suboccipitals, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and temporalis. By improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and easing muscular tightness, we help reduce the pressure and nerve irritation that contribute to head pain.
When combined with chiropractic adjustments and lifestyle recommendations, soft tissue therapy becomes a powerful part of a holistic strategy to manage and prevent headaches—giving patients a long-term solution without relying solely on medication.
Carpal tunnel syndrome Fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndromes
Carpal tunnel syndrome can make everyday tasks feel impossible—but soft tissue massage offers a gentle, effective way to relieve pressure and restore hand function without invasive treatment.
This condition occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, often due to inflammation, repetitive motions, or poor wrist posture. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers.
At Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub, we use soft tissue massage to release tension in the forearm flexors, wrist extensors, and surrounding fascia. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and relieving tightness in the muscles and connective tissues that contribute to compression, we help restore proper nerve flow and reduce symptoms. When paired with ergonomic guidance and corrective exercises, this approach can provide lasting relief and prevent future flare-ups.

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a complex condition marked by widespread pain, fatigue, and sensitivity—and soft tissue massage can be a powerful tool for reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
While the exact cause of fibromyalgia isn’t fully understood, many sufferers experience chronic muscle tightness, tender points, and nervous system hypersensitivity. This can lead to difficulty sleeping, poor circulation, and increased stress—creating a cycle of discomfort that’s hard to break.
At Reform Chiropractic & Wellness Hub, our soft tissue therapy is tailored to be gentle, calming, and responsive to your body’s needs. We focus on improving blood flow, reducing tension in sensitive areas, and calming the overactive pain signals sent by the nervous system. By working with your body—never against it—we help reduce flare-ups, improve sleep, and support your journey toward better health.
⸻
Chronic Pain Syndrome
Chronic pain doesn’t just affect the body—it impacts every part of life. Our soft tissue massage treatments are designed to help patients break the cycle of pain, tension, and fatigue through consistent, compassionate care.
Chronic Pain Syndrome often includes long-lasting pain that persists beyond the expected healing period, and it may be associated with a variety of conditions including injury recovery, arthritis, nerve damage, or unknown causes. Over time, the body can develop protective muscle patterns that worsen the discomfort, leading to stiffness, immobility, and emotional stress.
At Reform, we use soft tissue massage to target these muscle holding patterns, release deep tension, enhance mobility, and reduce the inflammatory responses that feed into chronic pain. By addressing both the physical and neurological contributors to pain, soft tissue therapy helps restore a sense of control, comfort, and hope for long-term healing.
