At Step2Heal Advanced Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre, we are dedicated to delivering effective, research-based therapies that target the root cause of pain. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is one such advanced technique we use to treat deep-seated muscle tightness, scar tissue, and mobility restrictions with precision and care.
IASTM uses ergonomically designed instruments to detect and mobilize soft tissue adhesions, improving circulation and triggering the body’s natural healing response. This method is non-invasive, safe, and highly effective in breaking down scar tissue and restoring functional movement.
IASTM is especially useful for:
Chronic muscle tightness and stiffness
Tendon injuries such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis
Scar tissue management after surgery or injury
Myofascial pain and trigger points
Sports injuries and repetitive strain conditions
Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and IT band syndrome
After a detailed assessment, our physiotherapists customize your IASTM treatment based on your symptoms, activity level, and recovery goals. This therapy is often paired with manual therapy, dry needling, taping, electrotherapy, and therapeutic exercises to ensure a comprehensive and lasting recovery.
Patients who undergo IASTM often experience faster healing, improved flexibility, enhanced range of motion, and reduced pain — enabling them to return to their daily activities and sports with confidence.
At Step2Heal, we believe recovery is not just about treating pain — it’s about restoring performance and preventing recurrence. Let IASTM be part of your healing journey with us.
