Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

What is IASTM?

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a therapeutic technique that uses specialized tools, typically made from stainless steel, to treat soft tissue injuries and dysfunction. Your physiotherapist will use these instruments to apply targeted pressure to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, helping to break down scar tissue, improve circulation, and promote faster healing.

How IASTM Works

IASTM tools are specifically designed to help identify and treat areas of tightness, adhesions, or restricted movement. When the instrument is applied to the affected area, it creates controlled micro-tears in the tissue, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates the production of collagen, increases blood flow, and helps to break down scar tissue, ultimately restoring mobility and reducing pain.

Why Choose IASTM?

IASTM is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating soft tissue injuries and dysfunction. It is an excellent option for those recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, or dealing with scar tissue. The therapy promotes healing, reduces pain, and restores mobility to the affected areas.

Benefits of IASTM:

• Reduces pain and discomfort during movement

• Improves range of motion and flexibility

• Breaks down scar tissue and fascial restrictions

• Stimulates the body’s natural healing process

• Restores muscle function and strength

Conditions Treated with IASTM:

IASTM is highly effective for conditions that involve soft tissue injuries, muscle tightness, and scar tissue buildup. Some common conditions treated with IASTM include:

• Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Neck and Shoulder Pain
