Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a manual therapy approach that detects and treats soft tissue dysfunctions with specialized, stainless-steel tools. IASTM aims to increase mobility and alleviate pain in regions impacted by soft tissue constraints, such as the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and scar tissue.

​

IASTM works by breaking adhesions or scar tissue that might develop due to injury, chronic inflammation, or overuse. This technique is typically performed with other manual therapies, stretches, and exercise techniques.

​

There are many different IASTM techniques, such as The Graston, RockTape®, and HawkGrips®. IASTM has become widely recognized and used by many physical therapy practices, including our team at WITCORF Physical Therapy.

​

We treat patients with an evidence-based, patient-centered approach. Our team of experienced physical therapists at WITCORF Physical Therapy use instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization techniques.

IASTM is not typically performed alone; your treatment plan will involve other techniques, such as targeted stretching and strengthening exercises, to ensure optimal recovery and the best possible results.
