Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a technique used by chiropractors and other manual therapists to treat soft tissue injuries by using specialized tools to break up adhesions, reduce pain, and improve function. So, how does it work?
✅Detection: A chiropractor uses instruments with beveled edges to glide over the skin, which helps them detect areas of soft tissue dysfunction, such as muscle tightness or scar tissue.
✅Treatment: The practitioner uses controlled pressure and strokes with the instruments to target and break down scar tissue and adhesions that may have developed from injury or repetitive strain.
✅Healing stimulation: The process creates a controlled, localized inflammatory response, which initiates the body's healing cascade and allows for improved blood flow to the area.
✅Improved function: By breaking up adhesions, IASTM aims to restore proper movement and function of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, leading to a decrease in pain and an increase in range of motion.
