How Does IASTM Work?

An IASTM-trained physiotherapist will use a variety of different speeds and pressures when practicing this particular procedure, and it will be dependent on the essence of your condition and your individual needs.

These strategies were created to help physiotherapists more precisely locate and treat afflicted areas. IASTM utilizes specialized devices that can break down connective tissue limitations as well as scar tissue. The different speeds and pressures induce or prohibit muscular contraction.

A minor inflammatory response is generated when particular levels of pressure are given to the afflicted muscles, tendons, or ligaments through IASTM. Although it may seem counterintuitive, inflammation promotes the body’s natural healing mechanism, allowing you to recover and return to your life more quickly!

IASTM has been proven to help with:

    • Pain with movement
    • Muscle recruitment issues
    • Limited motion
    • Motor control issues
