Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) uses ergonomic stainless tools to find and treat fascial restrictions, scar tissue and chronic adhesions that hands alone can miss.

How it works

Step 01

Tissue scan

The tools amplify what we feel, so we can pinpoint restrictions quickly.

Step 02

Treatment strokes

Specific strokes mobilize tissue and prompt your body to remodel it.

Step 03

Loading

We pair IASTM with corrective movement so the new mobility sticks.
