What Is IASTM Physiotherapy?
IASTM is a modern form of soft tissue mobilization where physiotherapists use metal or plastic tools to apply pressure and mobilize soft tissues. These tools allow therapists to detect and treat issues like scar tissue, fascial adhesions, and muscle tightness more effectively than with manual techniques alone.
The technique involves controlled microtrauma to the affected area, which stimulates the body's natural healing process. It promotes blood circulation and breaks down tissue adhesions, allowing muscles to function properly. This therapy can be used for various conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
