ASTYM
ASTYM is a type of physical therapy treatment that uses specialized tools to break up scar tissue and damaged soft tissue. This can help to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and speed up recovery from injuries.
ASTYM is a non-invasive treatment, which means there are no injections or incisions. The tools are applied topically (on top of the skin) to locate dysfunctional (unhealthy) tissue, and to transfer mild to moderate pressure to the underlying soft tissue structures. This stimulates tissue turnover, scar tissue resorption, and the regeneration of tendons, muscles, and other soft tissue structures.
ASTYM treatment is typically provided twice weekly for four to five weeks (about 9 total treatment sessions). It is often used in conjunction with other physical therapy treatments, such as stretching, strengthening, and functional exercises.
