Physical Therapist in Fishers, IN

What Is IASTM?

Our physical therapists are certified in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue mobilization. They use certain instruments that have been designed ergonomically so that the therapist can locate restrictions to effectively break down the adhesion and scar tissue.

Mobilization therapy is used to treat problems affecting both upper and lower extremities which include:

Microtrauma induced into soft tissue structures causes a local inflammatory response. It initiated the reabsorption of inappropriate fibrosis and stimulates the natural healing process leading to the remodeling of affected soft tissues. It helps reduce pain, relax muscles and improve range of motion, restore strength and overall performance. Additionally, it is used to break down soft tissue adhesions, as a result of repetitive strain, trauma, immobilization, or surgery.

A physical therapist specializes in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of movement dysfunction. Our physical therapist has extensive training in human anatomy and physiology and an understanding of how manipulation of the tissues will affect physical function in order to apply soft tissue mobilization.
