Advanced Soft Tissue Release
PMP Pain Center offers Advanced Soft Tissue Release® (ASTR) to help people suffering from pain, mobility problems, and flexibility issues. Our physical therapists are here to help you feel more comfortable and move with ease again.
Effective Targeted Pain Relief for Chronic and Acute Pain with Advanced Soft Tissue Release
The human body consists of interconnected tissues and muscles that work together to support movement and function. When these tissues become tight, restricted, or inflamed, you will experience pain and discomfort. Advanced soft tissue release is a technique that targets these areas to provide relief for patients experiencing chronic and acute pain conditions.
What Is Advanced Soft Tissue Release?
Advanced soft tissue release is an advanced manual therapy technique licensed physical therapists use to address muscle tension and enhance overall mobility. It is performed using a soft tissue tool, kneading tool, and fascial tool. The entire session involves applying pressure and stretching to targeted areas of the body to release tight muscles and tissues.
Our PTs at PMP Pain Center are highly trained to perform this manual therapy technique. Having this expertise allows us to address your pain or mobility issues confidently while ensuring your utmost safety throughout the treatment.
Common Conditions Treated with Advanced Soft Tissue Release
The advanced soft tissue release technique is designed to address the root cause of the pain, not just the symptoms. Using our special tools, we gently release tight muscles and tissues to help reduce pain caused by inflammation and other issues. We also provide advice on nutrition, posture, and stress management for your overall well-being.

What to Expect During Advanced Soft Tissue Release at
PMP Pain Center
Treating soft tissue pain often involves traditional methods, such as stretching, massaging, using hot and cold compresses, electrical stimulation, and others. Unfortunately, they only provide temporary relief most of the time because they only address the symptoms and not the source of the issue. PMP Pain Center goes beyond these temporary solutions to provide you with long-term relief and not just a quick fix. Here’s what to expect when you visit a PMP branch for ASTR:
1. Assessment
We’ll ask about your pain concern, medical history, and daily activities to understand you better. We’ll also check how your body moves and where you feel discomfort to identify the source of your pain.
2. Treatment Plan
Our licensed physical therapists will determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition, focusing on areas that need attention. We’ll explain everything to you for your peace of mind.
3. ASTR Session
Our PT will start performing hands-on techniques with the use of our advanced soft tissue, kneading, and fascial tools. We’ll apply gentle pressure and stretch specific areas to reduce pain, discomfort, and tension.
4. Post-Treatment Review
After the session, we’ll talk about how the treatment went and how your body is responding. We’ll give you tips and exercises you can do at home. Follow-up sessions may be scheduled as needed.
