Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation: Supporting Recovery and Restoring Movement
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation is a form of soft tissue therapy that uses stainless steel instruments to gently address scar tissue, muscle tightness, and mobility restrictions. Backed by research it’s often used for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and post-injury recovery. At Connected Chiropractic, we incorporate this evidence-informed technique into tailored care plans to support movement, flexibility, and overall wellbeing.
