Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization at Allied Healthcare
At Allied Healthcare, our team of highly skilled and experienced doctors is dedicated to improving your overall health and mobility. We offer cutting-edge treatments, including the innovative Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). This powerful technique is designed to address soft tissue dysfunction, reduce pain, and enhance movement, all under the expert care of our doctors.
What Is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)?
IASTM is a specialized therapy technique that uses ergonomically designed instruments to identify and treat soft tissue restrictions. These restrictions often result from injuries, chronic conditions, or repetitive strain. The instruments allow for precise pressure application to targeted areas, breaking down scar tissue and promoting healing by increasing circulation and stimulating cellular repair.
