IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)

IASTM is a manual form of physical therapy in which therapists use specialized metal or plastic tools to gently scrape and move the skin to reduce pain and inflammation and promote healing. The instruments help therapists find and treat affected areas more accurately, effectively removing scar tissue and connective tissue restrictions. A mild inflammatory response is triggered to support the body's natural healing and functional restoration.
