In the case of muscular spasms or tightness of ligaments, muscles and tendons, heat therapy makes the tissue pliable. Trainers often use heat therapy to reduce pain and increase the mobility of tissue before exercise and then ice therapy to reduce pain and inflammation afterward.

Low-Level Laser And Ultrasound
For connective tissue injuries, ultrasound waves are often passed through the body to generate inside heat and loosen up the tissues to prepare the body for exercise or manual therapy. Therapists apply the sound waves safely and directly through a wand. The low-level laser therapy is also used in healing connective tissue or muscular injuries by using specific light wavelengths below the skin. This stimulates healing from muscle fatigue, inflammation, pain and constricted joint movement. It can be used as monotherapy as well as adjustment to any exercise to speed up the healing process.
