Advanced Healing with IASTM
At Renew Physical Therapy, we offer Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), a cutting-edge treatment that uses specially designed tools to promote tissue healing, enhance mobility, and relieve pain. IASTM works by applying precise mechanical pressure to the affected areas, which stimulates the body’s natural healing processes.
How It Works
The science behind IASTM centers on the body’s response to the controlled microtrauma created by the treatment. This microtrauma triggers a localized inflammatory response, which increases blood flow and promotes cellular regeneration. As circulation improves, oxygen and nutrients are delivered more efficiently to the damaged tissues, accelerating the healing process. The technique also helps break down scar tissue and adhesions, which can restrict movement and cause pain, restoring elasticity and flexibility to the muscles and connective tissues.
What It Treats
IASTM is especially effective for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, chronic muscle strains, and post-surgical recovery, where scar tissue buildup impairs mobility. By increasing circulation and encouraging the production of new, healthy tissue, IASTM helps to reduce inflammation, improve tissue function, and restore normal movement patterns.
A Customized Approach to Care
Our therapists begin with a thorough evaluation to determine the best course of treatment, ensuring that IASTM is customized to your specific condition and recovery goals. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic issue or recovering from an injury, IASTM can be a vital part of your comprehensive treatment plan, helping you return to your daily activities with improved function and reduced discomfort.
