Description
IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is a relatively new form of treatment that includes several techniques for mobilizing soft tissues, namely the fascia with different steel instruments. Fascia is a membrane that forms inside the human body with the role of binding, covering and separating muscles and internal organs.
IASTM encompasses several soft tissue mobilization techniques aimed at treating myofascial restrictions to reduce pain.
IASTM has countless benefits:
- Improves long-term local blood and lymphatic circulation
- It regulates the level of collagen, which speeds up the healing process
- It reduces the degree of tissue friability
- Aligns muscle fibers correctly
- Increases the mobility and elasticity of the fascia
- Positively influences posture
- It reduces pain by reducing tension in the fascia
