What is IASTM and how does it work?
IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It uses specialized tools to gently scrape and mobilize soft tissues like muscles and fascia, breaking down scar tissue and promoting blood flow to accelerate healing.
Is IASTM painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort similar to deep tissue massage. Some soreness afterward is normal but usually short-lived. Our practitioners adjust pressure to your comfort level throughout the treatment.
Who can benefit from IASTM?
IASTM is effective for people with muscle tightness, tendon injuries, post-surgical scar tissue, or chronic pain conditions. Athletes, desk workers, and anyone with restricted movement may find relief with this therapy.
How many sessions of IASTM will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your specific condition and response to treatment. Typically, patients notice improvement within a few visits, but your chiropractor will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
Can IASTM be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. At Kaminski Chiropractic, IASTM is often combined with chiropractic adjustments, stretching, and rehabilitation exercises to maximize recovery and maintain long-term results.
