What is IASTM?
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM) is a method of using tools to reduce pain and muscle tightness, improve range of motion and can help to speed up the recovery process following a soft tissue injury by reducing scar tissue and adhesions and increasing blood and nutrient supply to the injured area.
IASTM uses a range of specially designed instruments to provide a mobilising effect to myofascial adhesions and scar tissue. In other words, it can improve the movement between the skin, fascia and underlying muscles by removing the myofascial adhesions.
