ABSTRACT:
A set of tools for use by a trainer in performing soft tissue massage, wherein each tool includes a handle portion and a skin engagement portion that is configured to generally match the contour of the impaired area of soft tissue to be treated. The skin engagement portion includes an edge surface that noninvasively engages the skin to allow the user to locate fibrous adhesions that are attached to the underlying soft tissue areas. A first tool is selected having a bevelled edge for breaking up the scar tissue, whereafter a second tool may then be selected having a blade edge for pulling the broken up scar tissue away from the affected soft tissue area. The soft tissue area is then stretched as much as possible and the treatment repeated until all of the scar tissue has been removed from the soft tissue area.
