FAQs
IASTM, or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, is a therapy method we use to diagnose and treat patients with soft tissue dysfunction. We use specially designed instruments to provide a mobilizing effect to scar tissue and myofascial adhesions. This helps to reduce pain and improve your range of motion.
While some discomfort can be expected due to the nature of the therapy, we’re diligent about ensuring you’re as comfortable as possible. It’s not meant to be painful. In fact, many of our clients find it to be quite therapeutic. If you ever feel too uncomfortable, we’ll adjust the treatment accordingly.
Depending on your particular needs and the area being treated, an IASTM session at Propel u2013 Health and Human Performance usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. We’re committed to providing a comprehensive and effective treatment, so we’ll never rush through a session.
Yes, it can. We’ve found that IASTM is particularly effective in accelerating recovery from a variety of sports injuries. It helps to break down scar tissue and facilitates your body’s natural healing process. However, every situation is unique, so we’ll thoroughly assess your condition before determining the best treatment plan.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on your individual situation, the severity of your condition, and how your body responds to treatment. After your initial assessment, we’ll be able to give you a better idea of what to expect. We’re dedicated to providing personalized, effective care, so we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that best fits your needs.
