IASTM

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a manual therapy technique that has gained popularity in recent years for its effective treatment of adhesions and scarring caused by surgeries, injuries, and overuse of muscles. It involves the use of specially designed instruments to apply controlled pressure and friction to the affected area, targeting the underlying soft tissues.

The primary goal of IASTM is to break down scar tissue and adhesions that may have formed in the troubled area. These adhesions can restrict movement, cause pain, and hinder the healing process. By applying the instruments along the affected tissues, therapists can effectively break down scar tissue and adhesions, restoring mobility and function.

One of the unique benefits of IASTM is that it creates a controlled inflammatory process. This controlled inflammation is essential for initiating the healing process in the affected tissues. By stimulating a mild inflammatory response, IASTM encourages increased blood flow to the area, bringing in necessary nutrients and oxygen for tissue repair. This process also helps to remove waste products and toxins from the tissues, further aiding in the recovery process.

IASTM Has Been Shown To Treat:

• Scarring
• Fibrosis
• Fascial Tension & Densification
• Neural Tension
• Muscle Shortening
• Neurologic Restriction
• Trigger Points
• Plantar Fasciitis

Overall, IASTM can significantly accelerate the recovery process by promoting tissue healing and breaking down scar tissue/adhesions. It is a non-invasive and safe treatment option that can be used alongside other therapies to address various musculoskeletal conditions.
