Abstract
Soft-tissue mobilization (STM) is a system of manual techniques employing low-load, long-duration forces applied in approximation, traction, and torsional vectors to improve mobility between overlying and adjacent connective tissue layers throughout the body. The purpose of this article is to present the theory of STM as related to the properties of wound healing and of adaptive shortening of soft tissue, to describe the general principles of four STM techniques, and to detail specific application of STM techniques in the treatment of a disorder related to a longfinger extensor digitorum communis laceration and its repair.
