IASTM Therapy

Struggling with persistent muscle tightness, stiffness, or restricted movement? At ProActive Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Center, Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is used as part of physiotherapy treatment to improve soft tissue mobility, reduce discomfort, and support better movement using controlled, targeted techniques.

How IASTM Is Performed

IASTM is performed after a physiotherapy assessment using specialised instruments over selected muscles, fascia, or tendons. Controlled pressure is applied to areas of tightness or restriction to help improve tissue mobility, reduce stiffness, and support recovery.

Conditions IASTM May Help With

IASTM may be used for:

Muscle tightness and stiffness
Scar tissue restrictions
Tendon-related pain
Sports injuries
Post-surgical stiffness
Plantar fasciitis
Shoulder and knee discomfort
Repetitive strain injuries
Reduced mobility

Benefits of Spinal Decompression

After treatment, you may notice temporary redness, mild tenderness, or sensitivity in the treated area. These effects usually settle quickly, and your physiotherapist may recommend stretching, hydration, or gentle movement to support recovery.

Can IASTM help reduce pain?

It may help reduce discomfort linked with muscle tightness, scar tissue, and soft tissue restrictions.

Can IASTM improve mobility?

Yes. It may help improve flexibility, tissue movement, and range of motion.

Does IASTM support recovery?

IASTM can be used alongside physiotherapy exercises to support soft tissue recovery and functional movement.

Can IASTM help with scar tissue and stiffness?

It may help improve movement in areas affected by scar tissue, adhesions, or post-injury stiffness.

Can IASTM be combined with physiotherapy?

Yes. It is commonly combined with stretching, strengthening, mobility exercises, and rehabilitation as part of a personalised treatment plan.
