Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) at MF SPORTS INJURY REHAB
we are proud to offer Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), a cutting-edge technique that enhances our suite of therapeutic services. IASTM is a modern evolution of traditional manual therapy, utilizing specially designed tools to provide a targeted approach to soft tissue treatment.
What is IASTM?
IASTM is a procedure that uses tools to mechanically stimulate soft tissue structures to relieve pain and improve function. The tools are crafted to conform to various contours of the body, allowing for precise treatment of affected areas.
Benefits of IASTM:
– Promotes Healing: By creating controlled microtrauma to affected soft tissues, IASTM encourages the body’s natural healing response.
– Reduces Scar Tissue: Effective in breaking down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, IASTM improves range of motion and functional mobility.
– Increases Blood Flow: The technique increases circulation to the treated area, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients essential for tissue repair.
– Decreases Overall Treatment Time: IASTM can expedite the rehabilitation process, helping patients return to their activities faster.
Conditions Treated with IASTM:
– Chronic and acute soft tissue injuries
– Post-surgical scars
– Myofascial pain and restrictions
– Muscle strains and sprains
– Tendonitis and tendonosis
The MF SPORTS THERAPY Approach:
Our certified therapists are trained in the latest IASTM techniques. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify the specific needs of each patient. During treatment, our therapists use IASTM tools to gently yet effectively treat the soft tissue dysfunctions.
