Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM THERAPY) – Effective treatment for muscle, ligament and tendon injuries
IASTM can involve broad or targeted treatments. The former would be used for large muscle groups, such as an injured back, the latter for an injury to a particular area. By using different tools, angles and pressures, your therapist can focus on a specific layer of soft tissue during treatment.
The Benefits of IASTM
Targeted IASTM treatments can have a number of benefits, such as:
- Faster pain relief
- Improved mobility
- Quicker rehabilitation and recovery
IASTM focuses on specific areas to relieve stiffness and improve range of motion. This allows you to perform exercises your physical therapist recommends to strengthen the injured area, which promotes healing and can help restore your normal function.
