Get back to pain-free living with Newcastle’s most trusted physiotherapy experts.”
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is a cutting-edge technique that uses specially designed stainless steel tools to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions. By gliding the tools over the skin, we can break down scar tissue, release fascial adhesions, and stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. This method is especially effective for overuse injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic muscle or tendon pain. IASTM helps improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and restore normal tissue function, allowing you to move more freely and without discomfort. Many clients experience noticeable results in mobility and pain reduction after just one or two sessions. It’s suitable for athletes, workers with repetitive strain injuries, and anyone recovering from injury or surgery. Unlike traditional massage, IASTM allows for highly targeted treatment of problem areas with minimal strain on surrounding tissues. Every session is tailored to your condition and combined with other therapies if needed for optimal recovery. If you want faster healing and better long-term mobility, IASTM can be a game-changer.
We start by assessing your movement patterns, muscle function, and any pain points to understand what’s causing your restrictions. Using precision IASTM tools, we apply controlled pressure to specific areas to release adhesions and stimulate tissue regeneration. We then guide you through corrective stretches or exercises to reinforce the gains from your session. Our approach is gentle but highly effective, focusing on both immediate relief and long-term improvement.
