Are you struggling with tight muscles, lingering pain, or limited movement?
There’s a powerful new tool in physiotherapy that’s helping people feel better, faster, and it might be exactly what your body needs. It’s called IASTM, or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation, and it’s now available at Bodyworks Subiaco!
What is IASTM?
IASTM is a cutting-edge manual therapy technique that uses specially designed tools to gently glide on your skin and target areas of soft tissue restriction. Think of it as a modern upgrade to traditional massage that’s more precise, more effective, and often faster in results.
These tools allow your physiotherapist to glide, press, and target areas with greater precision and efficiency than hands alone.
The result?
- Faster pain relief
- Better mobility
- Quicker recovery
It also helps break down scar tissue, release muscle tension, and improve blood flow while helping your body heal naturally.
What Can IASTM Help With?
Whether you’re an athlete, a desk worker, or just dealing with the wear and tear of daily life, IASTM can make a big difference. It’s commonly used for:
- Muscle tightness and stiffness
- Tendon pain (like tennis elbow or Achilles tendinitis)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
- Chronic neck or back pain
- Post- injury / post- fracture scar tissue mobilisation
- Joint restrictions and much more.
How Does It Feel?
Most clients describe it as a “good kind of pressure”—a deep, satisfying release that targets “knots” or tension they didn’t even know they had, as the tools glide across the skin. You may feel a bit of soreness afterward (just like after a good workout), but that’s your body healing and getting stronger and the relief is often immediate and long-lasting.
Why Clients Love It?
“It gave me relief in just a couple of sessions!”
“I could feel my shoulder move more freely right away!”
“I wish I had tried this sooner.”
“This did more for my shoulder pain in 2 sessions than weeks of massage.”
IASTM works fast. It’s non-invasive, safe, and deeply effective. You’ll be amazed at how Your body responds!
