Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation
IASTM can offer several benefits for a wide range of people, especially those dealing with muscle tension, pain, or limited movement. Common benefits include:
Reduced muscle tension
Helps calm tight or overactive muscles without causing them to guard or tense up further.
Improved mobility and flexibility
Enhances how muscles and fascia glide, making movement feel easier and freer.
Better circulation
Increases blood flow to the treated area, supporting healing and reducing stiffness.
Decreased pain sensitivity
Stimulates mechanoreceptors in the skin and fascia, which can help down-regulate pain signals.
Prepares tissue for deeper treatment
Loosens superficial layers so deeper manual therapy—if needed—can be more comfortable and effective.
Supports recovery and performance
Useful for athletes or active individuals looking to recover faster and move better.
