Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
The Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) technique is when clinicians use specialized instruments to effectively release scar tissue and/or other restrictions to improve a patient’s mobility.
Common conditions that respond well to the IASTM technique include:
- Pulled hamstring
- Meniscal tears
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tight hip flexors
- Shin splints
- IT band syndrome
- Shoulder pain
