IASTM Therapy

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a technique that uses specialized tools to break down scar tissue, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility. It targets soft tissues like muscles and tendons. At GS Physiotherapy, our IASTM therapy in Gurugram is an innovative solution for pain and restricted movement.

Why is IASTM Therapy Important?

IASTM is highly effective for treating chronic soft tissue injuries and post-surgical scarring. It promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and enhances tissue flexibility, leading to faster recovery and improved function. It is ideal for conditions that limit mobility or cause persistent pain.

How is IASTM Therapy Performed?

• Assessment: Evaluation of soft tissue restrictions and pain points.
• Tool Application: Specialized tools are used to apply controlled pressure.
• Tissue Mobilization: Breaking down scar tissue and adhesions.
• Complementary Therapy: Combined with exercises or manual therapy.
• Post-Treatment Care: Guidance on stretching and hydration.

Benefits of IASTM Therapy

• Pain Relief: Reduces discomfort in muscles and tendons.
• Improved Mobility: Enhances tissue flexibility and range of motion.
• Faster Recovery: Speeds up healing from injuries or surgeries.
• Non-Invasive: Safe and effective without surgery.
• Enhanced Performance: Supports athletic and daily activities.

Symptoms and Conditions Treated

IASTM therapy is effective for:

• Tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Post-surgical scar tissue
• Muscle strains
• Chronic soft tissue pain
