IASTM therapy stands for Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Stretch. It’s a type of physical stretching of the tissues where a therapist uses special handheld tools (usually made of metal or plastic) to gently scrape or glide over your skin.
What happens during a session?
The therapist moves the tool over tight or injured muscles!
This helps break down scar tissue and improves movement!
It may feel like a deep massage or mild scraping!
