Manual & Soft Tissue Therapy

Cupping Therapy

Cupping uses suction-based cups placed on the skin to lift and decompress soft tissue, increase blood flow, and release chronic muscle tightness. Unlike most manual techniques that compress tissue, cupping pulls it apart — making it especially effective for stubborn areas that haven't responded to other treatment.

At Resilience PT & Performance, cupping is used alongside physical therapy to treat tight hips, low back pain, shoulder tension, hamstrings, and calves. It's a popular addition to treatment for athletes and active adults who train hard and carry tension in the same areas repeatedly. Most patients notice improved mobility and reduced soreness within 24 to 48 hours of treatment.

Soft Tissue Mobilization & Manual Therapy

Manual therapy and soft tissue mobilization are hands-on techniques used to restore normal movement in joints and muscles that have become stiff, restricted, or painful. At Resilience, manual therapy is always combined with targeted exercise and education — because getting you moving well independently is the goal, not keeping you on the table indefinitely.

These techniques are especially effective for neck pain, shoulder pain, low back tightness, hip restrictions, and post-surgical stiffness. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic issue, or trying to maintain performance as an active adult or athlete, hands-on care is often the fastest path to restored movement and reduced pain.

Graston Technique & IASTM

Graston Technique and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) use specially designed tools to detect and break down scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and chronic soft tissue dysfunction. The instruments allow usto locate and treat areas of restriction with more precision than hands alone.

Graston and IASTM are particularly effective for tendon issues, post-surgical scar tissue, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and shoulder restrictions. If you've dealt with a nagging soft tissue problem that keeps coming back, this is often the treatment that finally addresses the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
