Soft Tissue Therapy
MeyerDC is a strong supporter of therapeutic innovations, including Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), in which the clinician uses specially designed hand-held instruments to locate and treat areas of soft tissue dysfunction. Massage and pressure with IASTM tools breaks down scar tissue and loosens trigger points in muscles and connective tissues, accelerating the recovery process for people with musculoskeletal injuries.
IASTM returns pliability and elasticity to the tissues after surgery, injury or overuse
This Soft Tissue Therapy breaks up scar tissue and adhesions to allow unrestricted movement
Patients whose motion is limited or painful because of scar tissue or adhesions can benefit from soft tissue therapy, which targets these movement-inhibiting tissues. Using a variety of IASTM tools, the practitioner applies pressure to produce a controlled microtrauma in the affected area, prompting a breakdown and reabsorption of the scar tissue or adhesion, and stimulating the body to begin healing itself. Studies confirm the benefits of IASTM in improving range of motion and strength in patients.
MeyerDC offers soft tissue therapy tools from the leading brands, including:
- Graston Technique
- HawkGrips
- RockTape RockBlades
