Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a low intensity light based therapy that been used for over 40 years for management of musculoskeletal pain with increasing evidence of success. We commonly utilize LLLT in management of both acute and chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and address swelling.
This technique uses specialized tools to reduce tissue restrictions, improve mobility, and speed up your recovery. Whether you’re healing from injury or trying to prevent one, IASTM offers a targeted, research-backed solution to get you moving better—faster.
We offer IASTM as part of a complete treatment plan for patients in Manhattan who want to feel and function at their best.
IASTM stands for Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It’s a hands-on technique that uses ergonomically designed tools to gently scrape or glide across the skin. This motion stimulates the healing process by promoting circulation, breaking down scar tissue, and releasing fascial restrictions.
IASTM works well on both acute injuries and long-standing issues. It helps:
Reduce pain and inflammation
Improve range of motion
Accelerate soft tissue healing
Break up adhesions and scar tissue
It’s a powerful way to restore mobility when tight muscles and restricted tissue are limiting your movement.
Your therapist will start with a targeted assessment to identify soft tissue dysfunction and movement restrictions. Then, using IASTM tools, they’ll apply specific strokes over the affected area to stimulate the tissue’s natural healing response.
Sessions are typically combined with stretching, corrective movement, and neuromuscular re-education to maximize your results. You may feel a warm sensation or slight tenderness during treatment, but most patients report reduced tightness and better mobility almost immediately.
IASTM continues to gain traction in the rehab world due to its direct impact on tissue healing and mobility.
Research shows that IASTM promotes collagen remodeling and speeds up the healing of tendinopathies and soft tissue injuries by increasing localized blood flow and fibroblast activity.
In clinical studies, IASTM has been shown to improve range of motion by up to 35% in patients with chronic restrictions, particularly in the shoulder and lower extremities.
Post-operative rehabilitation programs that include IASTM report reduced scar tissue buildup and faster return to functional movement compared to exercise-only protocols.
Your session will begin with a quick mobility and tissue assessment. Your therapist will use the IASTM tools to perform a series of guided strokes over targeted areas, adjusting pressure based on your comfort and needs.
After the hands-on portion, you’ll likely complete corrective exercises or stretches to reinforce your improved movement. Most patients notice results after just 1–3 sessions, with improvements in comfort, range of motion, and recovery speed.
We don’t just use tools—we use clinical reasoning to know when and how to use them. Our therapists are trained in IASTM protocols and blend it with personalized, full-body rehab plans. Here’s what sets us apart:
One-on-one treatment with licensed IASTM-certified clinicians
Integration of soft tissue work with full-body functional rehab
