Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization has helped many people overcome chronic tension and painful complaints. This is a modern-day evolution of Gua Sha, however it is more targeted to relieve tension and pain. With the use of assistive tools, I.A.S.T.M. initiates a series of controlled microtraumas to the fascia which helps to facilitate localized inflammation while it breaks down myofascial adhesions. Side effects may include more energy and a happier, pain-free lifestyle.
