What is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization?
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a skilled myofascial intervention used for soft-tissue (muscle) treatment. Treatment using IASTM is similar to massage therapy but involves using instruments that are usually made of stainless steel with beveled edges and contours that can conform to different body anatomical locations.
