IASTM is mainly used for myofascial trigger points and restrictions
Instruments effectively break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. The ergonomic design of these instruments provides the clinician with the ability to locate restrictions and allows the clinician to treat the affected area with the appropriate amount of pressure.
Adhesions within the soft tissue which may have developed as a result of surgery, immobilisation, repeated strain, or other mechanisms, are broken down allowing full functional restoration to occur
