IASTM Tools for Physiotherapy

Description

• STM tools have an ergonomic design that allows the therapist to comfortably hold and apply controlled pressure during treatment sessions. The shape of the tools may vary, with smooth edges and contoured surfaces to suit different treatment areas.
• IASTM tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each intended for specific treatment purposes. Common shapes include convex, concave, beveled, and comb-like designs, offering versatility in targeting various anatomical structures.
• These instruments are typically made of high-quality stainless steel or other durable materials to ensure their longevity and resistance to wear and tear. Treatment Edges: The edges of the IASTM tools are smooth and beveled to prevent any discomfort or injury to the patient’s skin during treatment. The therapist uses these edges to apply pressure and perform specific strokes to address soft tissue restrictions effectively.
• IASTM tools are used as part of a comprehensive treatment protocol, often combined with manual therapy techniques, exercises, and other modalities to optimize patient outcomes. Benefits: The use of IASTM tools aims to improve blood flow, break down scar tissue, reduce pain, increase flexibility, and enhance overall tissue function.
• Enhanced Tissue Penetration: IASTM tools offer a greater tissue penetration depth compared to traditional manual techniques, enabling therapists to target deeper layers of soft tissue effectively.
