IASTM
Instruments
effectively break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. The ergonomic
design of these instruments provides the clinician with the ability to locate
restrictions and allows the clinician to treat the affected area with the
appropriate amount of pressure.
The introduction of
controlled microtrauma to affected soft tissue structure causes the stimulation
of a local inflammatory response. Microtrauma initiates reabsorption of
inappropriate fibrosis or excessive scar tissue and facilitates a cascade of
healing activities resulting in remodelling of affected soft tissue structures.
