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
