Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is another option to resolve pain and tightness in the body. IASTM is a treatment utilizing hand held instruments to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions in soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and nerves). Many of our locations have skilled therapists certified in the most common techniques for IASTM including:
ASTYM
Graston Technique
Hawkgrips
With IASTM, our highly trained therapists use special instruments to reduce friction which allow for precision, sensitivity and depth that cannot be accomplished with the hands, knuckles, elbows, etc. Using a tool focuses the force through an area smaller than your finger with less friction which allows a more efficient treatment. The result is proper, functional, pain-free healing.
