Soft tissue restriction can develop from:
• Chronic stress
• Mechanical overload (repetitive use, poor load management)
• Injury or trauma
All three can increase tissue tone, reduce elasticity, compress blood vessels, and limit circulation.
When blood flow is restricted, tissues receive less oxygen and nutrients—slowing recovery and increasing pain or inflammation.
Restoring tissue mobility helps normalize circulation and supports the body’s ability to heal.
