IASTM

IASTM stands for Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It is a manual therapy technique that involves the use of specialized tools to address soft tissue restrictions, adhesions, and scar tissue. The tools used in IASTM are typically made of stainless steel or other materials with a smooth edge, and they are designed to glide over the skin to detect and treat areas of dysfunction.

During an IASTM session, a trained healthcare professional, such as a physical therapist or chiropractor, uses these instruments to apply controlled pressure and friction to specific areas of the body. The goal is to break down adhesions or restrictions in the soft tissues, promoting healing, reducing pain, and improving overall function.
