IASTM Therapy
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a technique that uses specialized tools to break down scar tissue, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility. It targets soft tissues like muscles and tendons. Our IASTM therapy in Gurugram at GS Physiotherapy is a cutting-edge remedy for pain and limited mobility.
Why is IASTM Therapy Important?
IASTM works very well for post-operative scarring and long-term soft tissue damage. It speeds up healing and improves function by increasing blood flow, lowering inflammation, and improving tissue suppleness. It is perfect for ailments that impair movement or result in chronic pain.
How is IASTM Therapy Performed?
Assessment: Examining pain spots and limitations in soft tissues.
Tool Application: Controlled pressure is applied using specialized tools.
Tissue Mobilization: Breaking down scar tissue and adhesions.
Complementary Therapy: Combined with exercises or manual therapy.
Post-Treatment Care: Guidance on stretching and hydration.
Benefits of IASTM Therapy
Pain Relief: Reduces discomfort in muscles and tendons.
Increased Mobility: Increases range of motion and tissue suppleness.
Faster Recovery: Hastens the healing process following surgery or injury.
Non-Invasive: Safe and effective without surgery.
Enhanced Performance: Supports athletic and daily activities.
Symptoms and Conditions Treated
IASTM therapy is effective for:
Tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles)
