Not all stiffness comes from tight muscles.
Many people assume discomfort is purely soft tissue related. While muscles can become tight and inflamed, joint restriction is a separate mechanical issue that limits motion at the spinal or extremity level.
Soft tissue tension often responds to massage or stretching. Joint restriction, however, may require specific adjustments to restore proper movement.
In our office, we assess both muscle tone and joint mobility to determine what is actually driving your symptoms.
The right treatment depends on the right diagnosis.
