Understanding Manual Connective Tissue Therapy 🤲🏻
Manual Connective Tissue Therapy (MCTT) is a specialized hands-on technique that focuses on the body’s connective tissues, including fascia, ligaments, and tendons. These tissues support muscles, organs, and joints, and when they become restricted due to injury, stress, or poor posture, they can contribute to pain, limited mobility, and discomfort.
During a session, Lindsay MacNeil uses precise, targeted pressure and stretching techniques to release restrictions, improve tissue elasticity, and restore proper alignment. The approach is gentle yet effective, working with the body’s natural ability to heal while enhancing circulation and reducing muscular tension.
MCTT is often used to address chronic pain, postural issues, sports injuries, and recovery from trauma. Clients typically notice improved mobility, reduced pain, and a greater sense of physical ease after treatment.
By focusing on the often-overlooked connective tissues, Manual Connective Tissue Therapy offers a holistic, non-invasive approach to long-term musculoskeletal health and overall well-being.
