Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Edmonton
IASTM Edmonton
Instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation (IASTM) is a treatment technique that uses specialized tools to assess and target areas of soft tissue restriction. By applying controlled mechanical pressure, IASTM helps stimulate circulation, improve tissue mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes. It is commonly used for conditions such as muscle tightness, tendinopathies, overuse injuries, and movement restrictions. As an addition to massage therapy, IASTM allows for more precise and targeted treatment of stubborn or chronic areas, helping to improve function and achieve longer-lasting results.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) is commonly known as “Graston” or “scraping”.
