How Does IASTT Work?

Specialized instruments are used to effectively break down deeper layers of fascial restrictions and scar tissue in and around muscles, joints and ligaments. 

The ergonomic design of these instruments provides the clinician with the ability to locate restrictions within tissues. This allows them to treat the affected area with the ideal amount of pressure for maximum effectiveness.

IASTT creates controlled micro trauma which causes the stimulation of a beneficial local inflammatory response. Micro trauma initiates reabsorption of inappropriate fibrosis or excessive scar tissue which leads to healing.

Overall, this treatment should be quite comfortable and tolerable for patients when performed correctly.
