IASTM Therapy
IASTM therapy can be your key to unlocking relief and getting back to the activities you love.
What is IASTM Therapy?
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is an advanced therapeutic technique used by physical therapists and sports medicine professionals to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. By utilizing specialized tools, IASTM helps break down scar tissue, improve mobility, and alleviate pain.
Benefits of IASTM Therapy
IASTM therapy offers numerous benefits, including:
Pain Relief: Reduces chronic and acute pain.
Enhanced Mobility: Improves range of motion and flexibility.
Scar Tissue Breakdown: Effectively addresses adhesions and scar tissue.
Improved Function: Enhances overall physical performance.
How IASTM Therapy Works?
IASTM works in a few ways. It’s thought to:
Break down scar tissue and adhesions: Scar tissue can form after injuries and limit flexibility and movement. IASTM may help break up this scar tissue and improve mobility.
Increase blood flow: The friction from the tools may help increase blood flow to the treated area. This can aid healing and reduce inflammation.
Stimulate healing: IASTM may stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by promoting the production of collagen, a protein that helps repair tissues.
Common Conditions Treated with IASTM
IASTM is effective for a variety of conditions, such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Post-surgical scar tissue
- Myofascial Pain Syndrome
- Ligament Sprains
- Muscle Strains

What should I expect during an IASTM session?
During an IASTM session, your therapist will use specialized tools to apply controlled microtrauma to the affected area. This promotes healing by stimulating the body’s natural inflammatory response.
Is IASTM therapy painful?
Some discomfort may be experienced, similar to deep tissue massage, but many patients find the results well worth it.
