IASTM instruments make it easier to detect and treat soft tissue dysfunction. (Yes that is STD but not the kind you may be thinking…) They magnify the abnormalities (Scars, restrictions and adhesions) in the soft tissue and make it easier to locate the area to treat. The instruments actually vibrate and may even make an audible sound (Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) when sliding over scars, adhesions and restrictions. Using a tool focuses the force through an area smaller then your finger so you use less force. By not using your fingers and using less force it is easier on you to treat patients. The treatment time is also reduced further saving wear and tear on your body. The goal is to actually cause a minor injury and trigger an inflammatory healing response. This will stimulate the production of new collagen and hopefully proper (more functional, less painful) healing.
