About this service

What iastm involves

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation uses a smooth stainless instrument over the skin to work on tight fascia, tendon and scar tissue. It is a hands-on technique, not a separate cure, and is followed by stretching and strengthening.

Some redness can appear where the instrument is used and usually settles within a day. Intensity is set by the physiotherapist according to your problem.

Focus areas

  • Soft tissue and scar assessment
  • Controlled instrument strokes
  • Stretching straight after treatment
  • Strength work to hold the change
Please note: treatment is decided only after an individual assessment by the treating physiotherapist. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis or a promise of a particular outcome.
Awaiting confirmation: Draft copy for the clinic to confirm, including the typical session range. Adjust in Admin → Services.
