IASTM Instrument Soft Mobilisation
IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation) is a manual therapy technique that uses specialized tools to address soft tissue restrictions and improve mobility. It involves applying deep friction massage to the skin with ergonomic instruments, promoting blood flow and triggering a natural inflammatory response to aid in tissue healing and scar tissue breakdown.
