IASTM stands for Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization.
It’s a hands-on technique using special metal or plastic tools to gently scrape the skin and target deep muscle tightness, fascia restriction, or scar tissue.
Think of it like giving your muscles a deep clean — loosening stuck tissue so your body can move better and heal faster.
IASTM is perfect if you:
Keep stretching but still feel tight or stiff
Have old injuries or nagging body pain
Feel like your muscles are “jammed” or “stuck”
Work out a lot and need faster muscle recovery
Sit long hours and have stiff muscle pain
