Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a skilled intervention used for soft-tissue treatment. By applying instruments that are usually made of stainless steel with beveled edges which are contoured, the doctor can conform to different body locations and allow for deeper pe*******on.
IASTM is beneficial in :
👉reducing the hypertonicity of muscles
👉treating soft tissue injuries (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia)
👉increasing the ROM of restricted joints
👉breaking down the scar tissues
👉increasing the blood circulation to enhance the healing process of injured tissues
