IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is part of our comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal care. IASTM is a highly effective technique for treating soft tissue dysfunction, improving movement, and alleviating pain. It’s especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain, tension, or injury.
IASTM is a therapeutic technique that uses specialized instruments to target and treat soft tissue restrictions and scar tissue. The instruments are designed to break down fibrous tissue (such as adhesions or scar tissue), promote circulation, and enhance healing in the affected area. This technique is widely used by athletes, rehabilitation patients, and anyone dealing with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

“Does insurance cover IASTM?”
Yes! - That is if the physicians deem it as medically necessary. For recovery and performance services, give us a call to discuss payment options.
“Does IASTM hurt?”
You may experience some mild discomfort or a pulling sensation during IASTM treatment as we work on restricted areas. However, we prioritize your comfort and will adjust the pressure as needed. Many patients describe the sensation as a "good pain" similar to deep tissue massage.
“Are there any side effects to IASTM?
Some patients may experience temporary redness or bruising in the treated area.
