IASTM Therapy at Holistic Medical Clinic

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a specialized manual therapy technique that uses stainless steel tools to treat soft tissue injuries, muscle tightness, and scar tissue. At Holistic Medical Clinic, our experienced physiotherapists use IASTM to promote faster healing, reduce pain, and restore functional movement.

What Is IASTM?

IASTM involves the use of ergonomically designed instruments to apply targeted pressure to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. This technique helps identify and release tissue restrictions while improving circulation and stimulating the body’s healing response. It is a non-invasive, drug-free method for treating chronic and acute soft tissue conditions.

How Does IASTM Work?

During treatment, your physiotherapist glides the IASTM tool over the affected area, detecting and addressing adhesions or scar tissue. The instrument creates controlled microtrauma in the tissue, which:

Stimulates collagen production
Enhances blood flow
Promotes the breakdown of scar tissue
Supports long-term healing and mobility

Benefits of IASTM Therapy

IASTM can provide rapid relief from soft tissue pain and movement restrictions. Key benefits include:

Reduced pain and muscle soreness
Improved range of motion and flexibility
Decreased scar tissue and fascial adhesions
Accelerated healing through increased circulation
