Soft tissue specialists target muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues that are the cause of your discomfort to reduce pain, enhance circulation and improve mobility.

Research suggests that more regular and shorter treatment sessions are more effective:

  • Regular soft tissue therapy sessions are associated with significant improvements in pain reduction, range of motion, muscle function, and overall quality of life

  • The frequency and duration of sessions should be individualised, but increased regularity-such as weekly or twice-weekly sessions initially-can accelerate and enhance positive outcomes, especially in the early stages of treatment

  • Shorter, more frequent sessions may help maintain the benefits of therapy over time and prevent the recurrence of issues, as the effects of soft tissue work can last from a few days to several weeks.

  • Pain Relief & Function: Studies show that regular soft tissue therapy leads to significant reductions in pain and improvements in physical function and quality of life.

  • Frequency Matters: More frequent sessions (e.g., weekly or twice-weekly) are often recommended initially for acute or severe conditions, with frequency tapering as the condition stabilises.

  • Duration & Maintenance: The benefits of soft tissue therapy tend to last between 3 days and 3 weeks, suggesting that regular sessions are necessary to maintain improvements.

  • Personalisation: The optimal frequency and session length depend on individual needs, severity of the issue, and response to treatment.

  • The Ninja has two session durations for you to choose from based on this research
