Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
What is IASTM?
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a type of treatment that involves the use of specialized tools to apply pressure and manipulate the soft tissues of the body, such as the muscles, tendons, and fascia. It is often used in physical therapy and other healthcare settings to help improve mobility, reduce pain, and promote healing.
How does IASTM work?
What treatments is IASTM used for?
IASTM is believed to work by disrupting scar tissue and other areas of adhesion or restriction in the soft tissues, and by promoting blood flow and healing in the affected area. It is often used to treat conditions such as muscle strains, tendonitis, and fascial restrictions, and is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment option.
However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider who is trained in IASTM to determine if it is appropriate for you. Some people may not be suitable candidates for this type of treatment, such as those with certain medical conditions or who are pregnant.
