Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a therapeutic technique used to treat soft tissue injuries and promote healing by using specialized tools to apply controlled pressure to affected areas. The tools are typically made of stainless steel and are designed to help identify and break down scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. The technique works by stimulating blood flow, enhancing tissue mobility, and promoting collagen remodeling, which helps improve the range of motion and reduces pain. IASTM can help with conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, sprains, scar tissue, and chronic pain. It benefits athletes, active individuals, office workers, and anyone dealing with soft tissue injuries or chronic musculoskeletal issues. By using IASTM, chiropractors can accelerate recovery, improve muscle function, and reduce stiffness, allowing individuals to return to their activities with greater ease and less pain.
