IASTM & MFD are advanced soft tissue techniques that utilize specially designed instruments to enhance the restoration and healing of soft tissue injuries. This treatment effectively reduces pain, increases range of motion, and improves athletic performance. By augmenting manual therapy, these tools help minimize painful movements, reduce musculoskeletal tension and stiffness, activate muscle contractility, and promote a faster return to activity.

Benefits of IASTM & MFD:

• Improved Tissue Mobility: IASTM/MFD helps to increase the mobility and flexibility of soft tissues, reducing tightness and restriction in muscles, tendons, and fascia.

• Faster Healing of Injuries: By promoting blood flow and stimulating tissue repair, IASTM/MFD can speed up the healing process of soft tissue injuries like strains, sprains, and tendonitis.

• Decreased Pain: IASTM/MFD can help reduce pain by breaking down scar tissue and fascial adhesions that contribute to discomfort, while also stimulating the nervous system to alleviate soreness.

• Increased Blood Flow: The use of instruments during IASTM/MFD promotes better circulation to the treated area, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues for faster recovery.

• Increased Lymphatic Flow: IASTM/MFD stimulates lymphatic drainage, which can assist in reducing swelling and promoting the removal of waste products from tissues.

• Effective for Chronic Conditions: IASTM can be particularly effective for treating chronic soft tissue conditions, such as tendinopathies, that have not responded to other forms of therapy.
