What are soft tissue manipulation instruments ?

Left to its own device this could be a very long and complicated blog, but we decided to record a short instructional video primer instead. Soft tissue instruments used for the purpose of soft tissue therapy have a very long history dating back several thousand years in Asian manual medicine, but have enjoyed a modern resurgence in many branches of physical medicine. They are often associated with trademarked techniques (Graston, Faktr, Guasha). Soft tissue instruments are just that, instruments that have to be used with a high degree of skill and expertise to augment the possibilities of specific soft tissue therapy beyond what can be done with hands alone.
