Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a technique that involves the use of specialized tools to diagnose and treat soft tissue disorders. The technique is gaining popularity among healthcare professionals due to its effectiveness in treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
IASTM is commonly used to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, IT band syndrome, and other soft tissue injuries. The technique has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving range of motion in patients with these conditions. One of the key benefits of IASTM is that it is non-invasive and does not require the use of drugs or surgery. This makes it a popular treatment option for patients who are looking for a more natural approach to healing. Additionally, IASTM is generally well-tolerated by patients and has few side effects. Another benefit of IASTM is that it can be performed in a relatively short amount of time, often in just a few minutes.
The patented Dynatron ThermoStim Probe is a breakthrough in IASTM technology. This tool allows a physical therapist to combine multiple treatment options into one tool.
The ThermoStim soft-tissue mobilization tool not only does IASTM but allows a physical therapist to deliver targeted heat, cold and electrical stimulation directly to fascia, tendons, ligaments and muscles during treatment. The ThermoStim Probe can also provide desensitization and increased comfort to the patient while significantly reducing treatment times. This device has been used with college and professional athletes for the past few years and has finally made its way into more mainstream physical therapy clinics. It truly opens up a new frontier of treatment options for physical therapy patients. Homestead Physical Therapy is the only physical therapy clinic in the region with this technology.
