What It Is
Astym (pronounced A’-stim) stands for “a stimulation” of the body’s natural healing response. This non-invasive therapy works by stimulating tissue regeneration and resorption of scar tissue, helping tendons and muscles heal and function properly again. No medications, needles, or surgery are required.
IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is a technique where our physical therapist use tools in different shapes like a handlebar or hook to apply specific pressure to break down restrictions, increase blood flow and improve the body’s natural healing process.

What to Expect
Astym treatment is performed only by certified clinicians using specialized instruments to glide over the skin’s surface, identifying and treating dysfunctional soft tissue. The process stimulates your body’s healing mechanisms, leading to improved mobility and function—even when other treatments haven’t worked. Most patients notice positive changes within just a few sessions.
