| Abstract: | This article outlines physical treatments for soft tissue pain in acute and chronic settings. Active treatments such as exercise and education are essential in the management of all soft tissue pains, but passive treatments, such as heat/cold treatment, ultrasound treatment, and massage are effective only in the management of acute pain. In chronic pain a multidisciplinary approach is often necessary. Self-management, goal-setting, and functional restoration are emphasized in treating chronic soft tissue pain. |
