Hawaii Natural Therapy offers an Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) – an evolution from Traditional Chinese Medicine called Gua Sha. This technique locates and treats clients diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction. IASTM is an effective technique which is performed with ergonomically designed tools. Those tools detect and treat fascia restrictions and encourage rapid localization. It effectively treats soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, breakdown fascia restrictions, scar tissue and adhesions within the soft tissue which may have developed as a result of surgery, immobilization, repeated strain or other mechanisms.
