What Is IASTM?
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a manual therapy technique that uses specially designed tools to break down scar tissue, reduce muscle tension, and improve range of motion. Instead of using hands alone, trained therapists at Rapid Relief Medical Group apply stainless steel instruments to targeted areas, providing more precise and deeper treatment.
How IASTM Works
The IASTM tools are glided over muscles, tendons, and ligaments with controlled pressure. This process:
-
Stimulates blood flow
-
Reduces fascial restrictions
-
Breaks up scar tissue adhesions
-
Promotes healing of injured soft tissues
At Rapid Relief Medical Group, our therapists use this technique to trigger your body’s natural healing response, leading to faster muscle recovery and pain reduction.
Conditions Treated with IASTM
IASTM is effective for a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Muscle strains and sprains
-
Chronic muscle tightness
-
Tendinitis and tendinosis
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
IT band syndrome
-
Scar tissue from old injuries
-

If you’re struggling with restricted mobility or ongoing discomfort, IASTM at Rapid Relief Medical Group could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
