Benefits of IASTM Therapy at Galena Physiotherapy & Sports Performance Centre

At Galena Physiotherapy & Sports Performance Centre, we offer Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) therapy as part of our comprehensive rehabilitation services. This highly effective treatment technique is widely used to address soft tissue injuries, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Whether you're recovering from a sports injury or managing chronic pain, IASTM can be an essential component of your rehabilitation program.

What is IASTM Therapy?

IASTM therapy involves the use of specially designed instruments to apply pressure to soft tissues, promoting healing and tissue regeneration. By targeting muscle adhesions and scar tissue, IASTM therapy helps to break down these restrictions, improving range of motion and reducing pain. The technique is often used to treat conditions such as:

  • Tendinitis

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Chronic pain in muscles and joints

How Does IASTM Therapy Work?

During IASTM therapy, our trained physiotherapists use ergonomically designed tools to scan and treat areas with soft tissue dysfunction. The instruments allow for precise targeting of areas with scar tissue and adhesions. By using controlled pressure, the therapy stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue​.

IASTM therapy is especially effective for:

  • Soft tissue mobilization: Breaks down scar tissue and myofascial adhesions that limit movement.

  • Pain relief: By increasing blood flow and decreasing inflammation, IASTM reduces pain in conditions like tendinitis and plantar fasciitis​.

  • Enhanced mobility: This therapy helps restore range of motion by addressing tissue tightness and improving flexibility​.
