Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM is a targeted therapy that uses specialized tools to improve mobility, reduce pain, and stimulate tissue healing. It is especially effective for scar tissue, tendon pain, and chronic tightness.

What Is IASTM?
IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) involves using handheld tools to gently glide over muscles and connective tissue. These tools allow the therapist to identify and treat areas of restriction that may not respond to hands-on treatment alone.
Benefits of IASTM
IASTM may be recommended for:
-
Tendonitis (elbow, knee, Achilles, shoulder)
-
Post-surgical scar tissue
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Chronic stiffness or repetitive strain injuries
-
Mobility limitations in joints or muscles
What to Expect
IASTM should not be painful, but may be uncomfortable. You may feel a light scraping or pressure as the tool is used, sometimes leaving mild redness that fades quickly. Most clients feel immediate relief and improved movement.
Why Choose IASTM?
By addressing restrictions in soft tissue, IASTM helps restore mobility, reduce pain, and support faster recovery—making it a valuable addition to both injury rehab and long-term health.
