Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a treatment technique that uses specialized tools to target and break up scar tissue at an injury site. By triggering a controlled inflammatory response, the body absorbs the scar tissue and generates new collagen to repair the area. This method addresses soft tissue adhesions caused by factors such as surgery, immobilization, repetitive strain, or other injuries, facilitating full functional recovery. Clinical studies support its effectiveness in improving range of motion, strength, and pain relief, while also promoting structural healing.
Benefits of IASTM
- Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions.
- Stimulates the production of new collagen for tissue repair.
- Improves range of motion and flexibility.
- Enhances muscle strength in the treated area.
- Reduces pain and discomfort.
- Promotes structural healing and tissue remodeling.
- Accelerates recovery from surgery or repetitive strain injuries.
- Restores functional movement and overall mobility.
