IASTM
|
IASTM is a complimentary service provided by Jonathan Diotte RMT. It may be added to your regular massage therapy appointment by request.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a massage technique that uses ProSTM tools to effectively break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. The use of the ProSTM tools allows for controlled and precise treatment to affected dysfunctional tissue. Controlled microtrauma stimulates an inflammatory response, increasing fibroblast production, collagen synthesis, maturation and remodeling of the collagen fiber matrix following IASTM application. |
