How Does SASTM work?
Repetitive motion produces an inflammation process, which over time results in chronic pain. This inflammation process also produces scar tissue which creates muscular imbalances, resulting in decreased performance.
The SASTM method is a form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. This method enables clinicians to effectively locate and treat areas of soft tissue dysfunction through the use of an instrument, thus preventing overuse of their hands. Instruments effectively break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. The ergonomic design of these instruments provides the clinician with the ability to locate restrictions through sound waves. This allows the clinician to locate and treat the affected area with the appropriate amont of pressure.
Common Treatable Diagnoses include:
- Tennis Elbow
- Golfer’s Elbow
- Knee Pain
- Neck Pain
- Shoulder Pain
- Hip Pain
- IT Band
- Back Pain
- Shin Splints
- Ankle Sprains
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Carpal Tunnel
- Hamstring Injury
- Trigger Finger
SASTM provides the following benefits:
- Restores function and reduces pain where other treatments have failed.
- Reduces the need for surgical intervention.
- Contributes to the overall reduction of health related costs.
- Allows individuals to stay on the job, and keeps athletes in action.
- Provides physicians with an alternative to offer their patients.
