IASTM which stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a modern take on the ancient technique of Gua Sha. It's a soft tissue technique in which a tool is used to scrape over the skin and create micro trauma ,petechiae (slight inflammation) and ecchymosis (bruising) in the underlying tissue. The goal is to trigger an inflammatory response to stimulate the production of new collagen and proper, pain free healing around the site of injury.

IASTM is a useful treatment to break down and release scar tissue restrictions. 

Benefits include reduced pain, improved recovery, increased range of motion and tissue elasticity.
