Finding Relief Through IASTM in at Restore Your Core Physical Therapy

If you’re suffering from pelvic pain or dysfunction, innovative IASTM treatment at Restore Your Core Physical Therapy can help. Our expert therapists use specialized tools and techniques to stimulate and relax your muscles, restoring comfort and control.

What is IASTM and How Does it Work?

IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. Our certified therapists use handheld tools to apply targeted pressure to muscle tissue. We tailor the precise amount of force and speed of strokes to meet your individual needs. This stimulates circulation and the nervous system. It also breaks up scar tissue and bands of rigid tissue called adhesions. Relaxing tense areas and releasing adhesions improves flexibility and range of motion. It also reduces compensatory movement patterns that contribute to discomfort and dysfunction.

The Benefits of IASTM

IASTM is a game-changer because it’s:

  • Precise: We can pinpoint specific spots to target, applying enough pressure to create change without causing extra pain.
  • Measurable: We’ll check your range of motion and function before and after to track progress.
  • Cumulative: It has compounding benefits over a course of treatment.

Patients choose IASTM for pain because it:

  • Decreases Pain – 86% of patients reported a drop in discomfort.
  • Improves Function – After 4 sessions, 95% of patients had increased range of motion.
  • Enhances Control – It helps your nervous system work in sync with your muscles again.
  • Complements Other Treatment – It boosts the effects of exercise and hands-on therapy.

I am so thankful that I found Restore Your Core Physical Therapy. I came in with a somewhat complex case and the therapist knew how to not only treat my condition but completely heal me from it. She worked diligently with me for a period of time and each week I felt better and better. I truly don’t think I could have gotten healed without her as I went from doctor to doctor trying to find answers with no success. She has changed the quality of my life and I am forever grateful to her.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does IASTM therapy hurt?
Some discomfort is expected since we’re targeting knotted, rigid areas. But patients usually describe it as “good pain” – where the aching feels productive. We’ll check in and can adjust pressure. If anything ever feels intolerable, we stop right away.

What happens during a typical visit?
After a quick chat about your current symptoms, we’ll assess by checking range of motion and palpating tight spots. Then we’ll use IASTM tools to methodically sweep over areas of concern – like your hips, low back, shoulder, etc. We’ll finish by re-checking your movement and taking you through exercises that enhance your movement and function following the IASTM treatment.

What if I feel too much pain during the session?
Communicate right away if anything is too intense. We can adjust to make you more comfortable by:

  • Easing pressure
  • Slowing pace
  • Changing tool or technique
