Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

A precise stainless steel instrument is applied over the treatment area to break down scar tissue and release fascial restrictions. This process helps to restore proper mobility and stimulates the healing process. Specific stretching and strengthening exercises are then prescribed to maximize therapeutic effects. Several types of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) exist. Graston is one of the more pospular forms of IASTM.
