IASTM
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) uses specialized tools to identify and treat soft tissue restrictions, helping improve mobility and reduce pain.
Book Now →What Is IASTM?
IASTM uses smooth, ergonomic instruments to gently glide over the skin and underlying tissue. These tools help detect areas of restriction or scar tissue and allow for targeted treatment to restore normal movement patterns.
What Conditions May Benefit?
How IASTM Works
When soft tissue becomes restricted due to injury, overuse, or chronic tension, it may not glide properly. IASTM helps:
- Break down scar tissue and adhesions
- Improve blood flow to affected areas
- Stimulate the body’s healing response
- Restore normal tissue mobility
What to Expect During Treatment
- Evaluation of movement and tissue quality
- Application of instruments over the affected area
- Possible mild redness or temporary bruising
- Reassessment of motion afterward
- Home guidance for mobility and recovery
