Stiff, stuck or scarred tissue? IASTM uses smooth tools to break it up so you move freely again.

What is IASTM?

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) uses smooth, shaped tools glided over your muscles and tendons. It helps find and treat stiff spots, scar tissue and adhesions so you move more freely.

What are the benefits of IASTM?

  • Pain relief

    Working on stiff, restricted tissue eases pain in the back, neck and shoulders.

  • Deep Tissue Massage

    Better movement

    Breaking up adhesions and scar tissue helps you move through your full range again.

  • Stretching and Mobility Exercises

    Faster recovery

    Ideal for old injuries and post-training tightness, so you bounce back sooner.

  • Posture Correction

    Stay injury-free

    Paired with the right exercises, IASTM helps keep tissue healthy so niggles don’t return.

What can IASTM help with?

âś“ Neck, back and shoulder stiffness

âś“ Tendon pain

âś“ Old injuries that still feel tight

âś“ Scar tissue limiting movement

âś“ Plantar fascia and calf tightness

How it works

Your practitioner glides a smooth, shaped tool along the area to find stiff or restricted spots, then works on them to improve movement and ease pain. Mild redness afterwards is normal.

  1. Assess: find the stiff or restricted tissue

  2. Treat: glide the tool over the area

  3. Move: exercises to lock in the change

  4. Review: track progress and adjust

IASTM FAQs

  • You may have heard it called the Graston technique or tool-assisted soft tissue work. The idea is the same: smooth tools help treat stiff or scarred tissue.

  • It can feel a little uncomfortable over very tight spots, but it shouldn’t be painful. Mild redness for a few hours afterwards is normal.

  • Many people feel looser after the first session. Older or long-standing problems usually need a short course of treatment plus exercises, which we’ll plan at your first visit.

  • We accept private health funds. IASTM is part of your chiropractic or myotherapy consultation, so check your extras cover with your fund to see what rebate you’ll get.
