IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is an innovative manual therapy technique that uses specially designed tools to detect and treat soft tissue dysfunction, such as muscle tightness, scar tissue, tendon injuries, and fascial restrictions. Unlike traditional massage, IASTM uses ergonomically shaped stainless-steel tools that allow therapists to precisely target problem areas and apply controlled pressure.
At Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic, our trained professionals use IASTM to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore normal tissue mobility. It is widely used for athletes, post-surgical recovery, and patients with chronic muscle tension, offering faster results with minimal discomfort.
