IASTM
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is an advanced manual therapy technique that uses specialized tools to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
You'll feel pressure and a scraping sensation as the instrument moves over your skin. Some areas may be tender, especially where restrictions exist. The intensity is adjusted to your tolerance.
Some temporary redness or minor bruising may occur, especially in areas with significant tissue restriction. This is a normal response and typically resolves within a few days.
IASTM uses specialized instruments that allow practitioners to detect and treat tissue restrictions more precisely than hands alone. It can reach deeper tissues and break down adhesions more effectively.
Most patients notice improvement within 3-6 sessions, though chronic conditions may require more treatments. Your therapist will assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
