IASTM Treatment using Myo-Bars in Townsville
Our practice has witnessed the effectiveness of Myo-Bars or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM). This therapy uses profiled edge tools to potentiate a variety of muscle or fascial techniques. This technique employs a collection of five stainless steel tools of differing shapes and sizes, which are used to release muscle tension in order to detect and resolve adhesions. Myo-Bars treatment has been used in triathlons, NRL, AFL, CrossFit and many contact sports.
How does it work?
These tools are used by manual therapists across a variety of professions to correct soft tissue function and resolve muscle adhesion. While they do not replace the hands of a professional, they do help deliver manual therapies in a quicker fashion that creates less bodily fatigue. IASTM is often used alongside Fascial Manipulation, Active Release Technique, Trigger Point Therapy, and other soft tissue therapies.
