	Soft tissue therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soft tissue therapy is a class of therapy that allows people to obtain relief from pain and suffering associated with repetitive stress and soft tissue injuries without the complications of oral medication, steroid therapy or invasive surgery.
		A common example of well known soft tissue impairment is repetitive stress induced carpal tunnel syndrome.
		Over time routine hand activity can injure the soft tissue causing swelling and compressive forces on the nerves and blood vessels passing through the wrist at the base of the hand.

		Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons (bands of fiber that connect muscles to bones), fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and synovial tissues (tissues around joints).
		Secondary tumors are referred to as "metastatic soft tissue sarcoma" because they are part of the same cancer and are not a new disease.
		In limb-sparing surgery, as much of the tumor is removed as possible, and radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy are given either before the surgery to shrink the tumor or after surgery to kill the remaining cancer cells.

		Soft tissue restrictions are due to collagen fibers that are unable to respond to stretching and normal “give” when moving.
		Restricted tissue anywhere in the body is abnormal and can cause not only local pain but can be related to the cause of distant pain in seemingly unrelated parts of the body.
