Soft Tissue 101 | Dr. Gray Stahlman

We map the soft tissue system that drives movement—muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and scar tissue—and explain how each heals. The through-line is durability: balance training, recovery, and mobility to prevent overuse, reduce pain, and move well longer.• defining soft tissue and why it fails• muscles as motors and why they heal faster• tendons as ropes, tendonitis vs tendinosis• ligaments as stabilizers and why sprains linger• scar tissue as the body’s patch and its limits• fascia’s role in glide and how adhesions form• eccentric loading for tendinopathy• rest, ice then heat, and smart progressions• balance across strength, cardio, mobility, stability• aging, microtrauma, and building durability• programs to prioritize restore, mobility, and stretch• teaser for part two on mobilization and therapiesPlease hang around with me for a few more minutes and get some healthy momentum for the rest of your week
