If you’ve never heard of IASTM and are living with chronic pain, you can speak with a physical therapist to see if it’s right for you! We use instrument-aided soft tissue mobilization as a manual physical therapy procedure at our clinic Chesterton Physical Therapy.
To alleviate pain, minimize inflammation, and encourage healing, our Dunes Plaza, Willowcreek Rd, and Sand Creek physical therapists use special plastic or metal tools to gently move and scrape against the skin.
You may be wondering if IASTM is right for you. Your physical therapist at Chesterton Physical Therapy will be able to help determine whether it’s the best fit, however, there are several conditions that this kind of treatment can aid in healing, such as:
You may be thinking, “Why should tools be used in physical therapy?”
Most manual physical therapy treatments are performed with the hands, but instruments can offer several advantages!
IASTM has been proven to help with:
An IASTM-trained physical therapist will use a variety of different speeds and pressures when practicing this particular procedure, and it will be dependent on the essence of your condition and your individual needs.
These techniques have been developed to allow physical therapists to find and treat affected areas with greater precision.
These special tools can effectively break down fascia (connective tissue) restrictions and scar tissue.
The various speeds and pressures function to promote a contraction or inhibit a muscle (also known as turning a muscle on) (also known as turning a muscle off).
When certain amounts of pressure are applied to the affected muscles, tendons, or ligaments through IASM, a mild inflammatory response is elicited.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, inflammation promotes the body’s natural healing mechanism, allowing you to recover and return to your life more quickly!
If you’re dealing with any of the above-mentioned chronic pain conditions, injuries, or symptoms, know that help is available to you.
Are you no longer able to breeze through life without excruciating pain?
You can get back to living a very enjoyable life with IASTM. Call our clinic in Dunes Plaza, Willowcreek Rd, and Sand Creek to learn more and schedule your first consultation. We can’t wait to show you the benefits of this amazing technology.
