Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM)
One form of massage that is offered to clients as part of many other treatment modalities as part of one's "tool box" is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM).
This is a non-invasive form of manual therapy to manipulate and mobilise soft tissue structures of the human body by using ergonomically designed tools to enable clinicians to detect and treat soft tissue pain, injury.
 
IASTM is becoming increasingly popular due to its remarkable safety and efficacy profile. The therapy is nonaggressive, yet effective, and can be applied either alone or in conjunction with supplementary exercises and additional modalities.

The procedure uses instruments to mechanically stimulate soft tissue structures to relieve musculoskeletal pain and discomfort and improve overall mobility and function.

Would I Benefit From Sports Massage Therapy?

Sports massage, Luton, Leagrave
Sports massage is a form of deep tissue massage that can be applied to anyone at any age who wish to prevent or recover from a soft tissue injury. It is not just beneficial to sporting individuals as the title might suggest. 

The amount of pressure applied is different from one individual to another to each individual is different for one person to another and one which is  a level tolerated. 

Sports massage therapists are increasingly working alongside other healthcare professionals in general practice. More physiotherapists find the combination very beneficial as the profile of massage therapy continues to grow. To book an appointment for a sports massage, give me a call.
