InstrumentAssisted Soft-Tissue Mobilization
Influence neuromuscular tone and plasticity through superficial manipulation of fascial sheaths and tonic musculature. Down-regulate overactive/hypertonic musculature
Up-regulate inhibited/hypotonic musculature
Decrease pain and discomfort
Breakdown of muscle adhesions and scar tissue
Facilitate recovery through stimulating increased blood flow
Improve fascial glide of tissues
Improve joint proprioception
