About IASTM
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is an advanced therapeutic technique that uses specialized stainless steel instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions. This technique evolved from traditional Chinese Gua Sha and provides deeper tissue work than manual therapy alone.
Treatment Process
Assessment
Your therapist assesses your condition, identifying areas of soft tissue restriction, scar tissue, or fascial adhesions.
Instrument Selection
Appropriate IASTM tools are selected based on the treatment area and specific condition being addressed.
IASTM Treatment
The therapist uses the instruments to apply controlled pressure and friction to break down scar tissue, release fascial restrictions, and improve tissue mobility.
Combined Techniques
IASTM is often combined with stretching, strengthening exercises, and traditional massage techniques for optimal results.
Post-Treatment Care
You'll receive guidance on exercises and stretches to maintain and enhance the treatment benefits.
Our IASTM Therapists
Our therapists are certified in IASTM techniques and have extensive training in instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization.
Session Duration
IASTM sessions are typically 60 minutes, with treatment time varying based on the areas being addressed.
Benefits of IASTM

Faster Recovery
Accelerates healing from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions.
Pain Reduction
Reduces chronic pain associated with soft tissue restrictions and scar tissue.
Enhanced Performance
Improves athletic performance by optimizing tissue function and reducing restrictions.
