Soft Tissue Recovery vs.
Scar Tissue Rehabilitation

Which STR are you living with?

About Soft Tissue Recovery (STR)

Soft tissue healing is defined as the replacement of destroyed tissue by living tissue in the body and consists of two parts: Regeneration and Repair. We simply combined those components along with efforts of the minds powerful physiological affects coupled with comprehensive dynamic physical solutions to create Soft Tissue Recovery.

Your tissue has a natural low-level frequency of 15-20 Hz. It’s measured on your muscle during everyday walking or running. With damaged tissue, your functional frequency decreases. Solutions such as therapeutic ultrasound that go up to 3MHz, the use of essential oils, herbs, stones, and other sound conduits promote healing in muscle, ligaments, and tendons.

STR is a combination of the natural repair and regenerative properties of the body to heal itself with the right tools.

Offensive STR (Soft Tissue Recovery) vs Defensive STR (Scar Tissue Rehabilitation) is the difference between a healthy person and a person struggling to restore function. Cognitive effort creates Dynamic behavior and we teach you how to create reasonable and quantifiable achievements for maintaining your strength, your career, and your overall relationship with the healing and awesome power of sound.

Choose from a range of courses that fit your team or personal goals.

Our Ergo-Mechanics Course teaches about muscles, tendons, scanning techniques, inflammation, overuse, repair, regeneration, caseloads, body contact, transducer grip, cord weight, patient optimization and positioning, provider optimization and positioning, as well as equipment optimization and positioning.

Testimonials from Sonographers

"I am praying for change ! My body is failing apart ... neck pain shoulder pain .... wrist lower back ...... I am only 41 years old I have no idea how I will make it retirement"

Connie Johnson

Petition Signer

"I have been a sonographer for 16 years. I have neck issues and musculoskeletal injuries usually in neck, shoulders and lower back. This is with using the safest ergonomics. Capping the caseload would help to preserve our sonographers and less time out for injury. I also have carpal tunnel in both wrists."

Hattie Kirk

Petition Signer

"My spine has been permanently damaged from forty years of ultrasound, pushing machines, etc. For echocardiography, they keep trying to increase the patient load numbers supposedly to “break even” on the costs of sonographers and equipment but it is at the cost of permanent injuries to many of us."

Audrey Garner

Petition Signer

"This is so important for the health of the technologists in our field. We are continuing having to do more scans in a shorter amount of time in order to “keep our numbers up”. This however is not good for the staff or the patient."

Jessica Blattler

Petition Signer

"I scan in pain every day. Going to physical therapy currently but unfortunately there's no way to stop the pain with repetitive movements performed everyday scanning that reaggravate the injuries. It's a vicious cycle. Thank you for creating this petition."
