What Is IASTM Therapy?

IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is a specialized hands-on treatment that uses precision tools to help break down soft tissue restrictions, improve mobility, and support the body’s healing process.

This treatment is designed to target tight muscles, scar tissue, adhesions, and movement limitations that may contribute to pain or stiffness. By improving circulation and reducing tissue restrictions, IASTM can help restore normal movement and reduce discomfort.

Many patients use IASTM therapy to improve flexibility, recover from injuries, and reduce chronic muscle tightness caused by workouts, repetitive stress, or daily activity..

How Does IASTM Therapy Work?

At Active Family & Wellness, every IASTM treatment is customized to your specific symptoms, movement restrictions, and recovery goals.

During treatment, specialized tools are gently applied over targeted muscles and soft tissues to identify and treat areas of restriction. This helps stimulate circulation, improve tissue mobility, and support the body’s natural recovery process.

CrossFit athlete returning to full training after injury with guidance from ACTive Family Physical Therapy

Mick has been more than a physical therapist at CF904. He has been a team mate, and someone who has involved himself with the community. He is constantly asking how certain members are doing after he has treated them. He is always communicating what to look out for for those members he has treated, and how to help them during class. As a business partner, he has been fantastic. As a therapist, he rises above. He isn’t a “treat you forever” therapist, but one who wants to get you fixed, healed, and on your way to continue accomplishing your goals. He is very conscious of what his clients take best to as far as treatment plans and is very sensitive....

CrossFit athlete and physician training together after completing a recovery program with ACTive Family Physical Therapy

I was considering surgery, but now I don't need it!
Mick helped me overcome chronic knee pain and swelling that was interferring with my daily activities. I never felt pressured or judged if I was unable to complete my assigned exercises between appointments. He also helped me understand why I was doing each exercise so I have the knowledge to help myself in the future if I have another injury.
As a healthcare provider, I appreciated Mick's willingness to be my physical therapist and also a trusted consultant. As a
provider who does CrossFit, Mick understands the movements and how to modify them appropriately to reach my goals.
10/10 would recommend, especially if you are a CrossFit athlete!
