===''Soft Tissue-mobilisering''===
''Augmented Soft Tissue-mobilisering'' (ASTM) er en form for [[manuellterapi]] som har vært påvist i studier på rotter å kunne fremskynde helbredelsen av sener ved å øke fibroblast aktivitet.<ref>[http://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abstract/1997/03000/Rat_tendon_morphologic_and_functional_changes.5.aspx Craig J.
