Do you suffer from chronic pain? You need to hear about IASTM!
PhysioStrength Physical Therapy uses instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) as a manual treatment for soft tissue restrictions. Our physical therapists scrape the skin with a plastic or metal tool while performing this treatment.
You will notice a reduction in inflammation and an improvement in the condition that is causing you pain.
Contact one of our licensed physical therapists today to learn more about how this technique can help you. Our PhysioStrength Physical Therapy team is delighted to meet you and, more importantly, to assist you in finally overcoming your pain.
What exactly is IASTM?
During this procedure, an IASTM-trained physical therapist will use specialized devices to break down connective tissue restrictions and scar tissue.
Different speeds and pressures will be used depending on your needs. When specific pressure levels are applied to the afflicted muscles, tendons, or ligaments, a minor inflammatory response occurs. This inflammation promotes the body’s natural healing mechanism, allowing you to recover and get back to living your best life faster!
IASTM has been shown to aid in the following issues:
- Limited motion
- Motor control issues
- Pain with movement
- Muscle recruitment issues
