What is IASTM?
IASTM massage is a type of massage therapy that uses specially designed instruments to gently or firmly rub and scrape the skin. The purpose of IASTM massage is to locate and treat areas of tightness, pain, and inflammation in the soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. IASTM massage can help improve blood flow, reduce scar tissue, increase range of motion, and promote healing.
IASTM massage is suitable for people who have chronic or acute soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, back pain, and more. IASTM massage can also help people who have post-surgical or post-traumatic scars that limit their mobility and function.
IASTM massage sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the condition and the goals of the treatment. The therapist will use one or more instruments to glide over the skin and apply varying degrees of pressure. The therapist can also perform manual techniques such as stretching, mobilization, and exercise to enhance the effects of IASTM massage.
