Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a hands-on technique that uses specialized tools to work on muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. The tools allow the clinician to detect areas of tissue restriction and apply controlled pressure to improve tissue quality, reduce stiffness, and restore short-term movement.
In this model of care, IASTM is not a fix—it’s a facilitator. It’s used to prepare tissues for movement, strength, and retraining so the body can adapt and change long term. Real recovery comes from rebuilding capacity through active movement, not from passive treatments alone.
