IASTM or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation is a modern manual therapy technique. It is evidence-based and designed to precisely treat soft tissue impairment. Our expert physiotherapist uses high-quality, ergonomically crafted instruments to detect and address those areas of your body that are restricted, have scar tissue and adhesions and may be causing you pain and limiting your mobility.
IASTM facilitates a deeper, more targeted treatment of fascia, tendons and muscle tissue, which manual techniques alone cannot cure. This results in faster recovery and improves your long-term mobility.
At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, we integrate IASTM with other comprehensive treatment plans that are tailored to your unique needs. Our expert physiotherapist is trained in advanced soft tissue methods and applies IASTM in combination with exercise therapy, movement retraining and rehabilitation strategies.
This combination, using IASTM, affords dual benefits to the patient. It offers immediate pain relief and an improved range of motion, along with sustained, long-term recovery and injury prevention.
IASTM has been effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, IT band syndrome, muscle strains, post-surgical adhesions and chronic neck or back pain.
You may experience some mild sensitivity during treatment, which is similar to deep tissue massage. However, this soreness is temporary and disappears within a day or two.
IASTM sessions usually last for around 20 to 30 minutes. The period depends on the area being treated and the severity of the condition. IASTM is usually grouped either with targeted exercises or corrective movement training.
You can perceive a noticeable improvement after 2 to 4 sessions. However, chronic or advanced cases may require more sessions for an extended period for the best results.
IASTM is a non-invasive procedure and is safe when it is performed by a trained physiotherapist. You may experience temporary mild redness or slight bruising. This is just a part of the body's natural healing response.
At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, you are in the safe hands of an experienced physiotherapist. We use the advanced tool of IASTM to restore movement in your body, enhance tissue health and support you in your journey towards a pain-free life.
