Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

Relieve muscle tension, break up scar tissue, and restore movement with Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization at Allied Healthcare.

Scrape Away the Pain: Precision Soft Tissue Therapy

When muscles feel chronically tight or restricted and traditional methods do not bring lasting relief, precision tools can make all the difference. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a highly effective manual therapy technique used by physical therapists to restore mobility, improve circulation, and speed recovery.

At Allied Healthcare, IASTM is performed in a private session with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. Each visit is customized to support your goals, your movement, and your long term recovery.

What Is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization?

IASTM uses specialized stainless steel tools to gently glide over muscles, tendons, and fascia. These instruments allow the therapist to feel areas of tension, scar tissue, or restricted movement. Gentle pressure stimulates a healing response that helps release adhesions, promote better circulation, and restore function in the soft tissues.

This approach allows for more targeted results than hands alone. IASTM enhances mobility, reduces pain, and improves muscle performance with greater precision.

Why Use IASTM?

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is ideal for conditions such as:

  • Tendon pain or tendonitis
  • Muscle tightness and chronic knots
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Scar tissue following surgery or injury
  • Shin splints and IT band tension
  • Neck or low back discomfort
  • Sports related strains and overuse injuries

Whether you are recovering from a recent injury or working through long standing movement restrictions, IASTM supports faster and more efficient tissue healing.
