Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

IASTM involves the use of ergonomic instruments, typically made of stainless steel or similar materials, to apply targeted pressure on the affected areas. These tools allow practitioners to detect and treat fascial adhesions and myofascial restrictions effectively, leading to improved tissue gliding and overall function.
The benefits of IASTM include:

  • Enhanced Tissue Healing: By improving blood flow and stimulating the healing response, IASTM can facilitate quicker recovery from injuries.
  • Reduction of Pain: The targeted approach can alleviate pain related to various musculoskeletal issues.
  • Increased Range of Motion: By addressing restrictions, IASTM can help restore normal movement patterns and enhance range of motion.
  • Improved Functionality: Overall, IASTM can contribute to better functional outcomes for patients.
