Soft Tissue Therapy in Boise, Idaho
Tight muscles, knots, or nagging strain? Soft tissue therapy loosens what adjustments alone can't reach.
Signs You Need Soft Tissue Work Done Right
We see it every winter. Someone slips on ice near the Greenbelt and comes in with a knotted, aching back. Others show up after long hours on the Bogus Basin slopes. Some come from months at a desk near Micron or Boise State. Soft tissue therapy targets the muscles, tendons, and fascia around your spine, not just the joints. When those tissues stay tight, they pull your posture out of place and cause pain to come right back. Ignoring it usually means the knot gets worse and starts limiting your range of motion. Techniques like this work by breaking up adhesions. They restore blood flow to the area.[1] We pair it with your adjustment. Both the joint and muscle around it heal together.
Icy Sidewalk Falls
Winter falls on Bench hills often tighten the muscles around your lower back and neck. Soft tissue work releases that tension fast.
Desk Job Strain
Long hours at a computer near downtown or the Micron campus build up tight shoulders and a stiff upper back.
Ski and Snowboard Falls
Bogus Basin season brings shoulder strains and whiplash. We loosen the soft tissue before it stiffens into a bigger problem.
Trail and Greenbelt Overuse
Runners and cyclists on the foothills trails often develop tight calves, hips, and hamstrings from repeated strain.
Heavy Lifting Injuries
Agricultural and warehouse workers around Kuna and Caldwell often carry deep muscle tension in the lower back.
Chronic Knots and Spasms
Idaho's dry climate can add to joint stiffness. Repeated muscle spasms are a sign it's time for soft tissue therapy.
Why Boise Trusts Us for Soft Tissue Therapy
Waiting on tight, knotted muscles almost always makes things worse. We've watched simple strains turn into chronic pain when left alone too long. Dr. Henze treats every patient like a friend, not a number, and finds the root cause before treating just the symptom.

How Soft Tissue Therapy Works Here
We keep the process simple so you know exactly what to expect from your first visit.
Exam and Diagnosis
We check your posture, range of motion, and the tight areas causing your pain. Digital X-rays may be used if needed.
Hands-On Treatment
We work directly on the tight muscle and fascia around the problem area. This often pairs with a chiropractic adjustment the same visit.
Follow-Up Plan
We build a plan around how your body responds. Some patients need a few sessions, others need ongoing care to stay loose and pain free.
Soft Tissue Therapy Cost in Boise
Pricing depends on how much soft tissue work your body needs and whether it's paired with an adjustment. Some patients need one focused session, others need ongoing care for chronic tightness. We start new patients with a $99 special that covers your exam, digital X-rays, and first treatment. Studies show soft tissue techniques like this can reduce pain. They improve mobility when done consistently.[1] We'll always explain the cost before we start any work.
Soft Tissue Therapy Questions
Here are answers to what Boise patients ask us most.
-
How much does soft tissue therapy cost?
Most sessions run between $45 and $150 depending on how much work is needed. New patients get our $99 special covering exam, X-rays, and first treatment. We always tell you the cost before we begin.
-
How long does a session take?
Most soft tissue sessions run 15 to 30 minutes. If it's paired with an adjustment, plan for closer to 45 minutes total. We never rush the hands-on work.
-
Can I just stretch this out myself?
Stretching helps, but it rarely fixes a deep knot or adhesion on its own. A trained hand can find and release tension you can't reach yourself. We often see patients who tried stretching for months before coming in.
-
How is this different from a massage?
Soft tissue therapy is more targeted and often paired with chiropractic care. We focus on the muscles tied to your spine and joint alignment, not full-body relaxation. It's treatment, not pampering.
-
How soon should I come in after an injury?
Sooner is better. Tight muscles get worse the longer they're left alone. If you fell on the ice or strained your back lifting something, call us within a few days.
-
What are signs I need this treatment?
Look for knots, tightness that won't loosen, or pain that returns after an adjustment. Limited range of motion in your neck or shoulders is another common sign. We check for these during your exam.
-
Do you treat sports injuries with soft tissue therapy?
Yes, we treat plenty of patients hurt on the foothills trails, at Bogus Basin, or in youth sports leagues. Soft tissue work speeds up recovery from strains and helps prevent re-injury. It's a big part of our sports injury care.
