Advanced Therapy for Optimal Health
At El Colorado Equine Rehabilitation Services, we utilize Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) to address soft tissue injuries and dysfunctions in horses.
This advanced therapy is designed to promote healing, improve mobility, and enhance overall performance.
What is IASTM?
IASTM involves the use of specialized instruments to apply targeted pressure and manipulation to soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and fascia.
These tools enable us to effectively break down scar tissue, release adhesions, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This technique is particularly beneficial for treating conditions that limit mobility and cause pain.
Our Process
- Assessment and Diagnosis: We begin with a thorough assessment of your horse’s condition, identifying areas of soft tissue restriction and dysfunction.
- Instrument Application: Using specifically designed instruments, we apply controlled pressure to the affected areas. The instruments allow for precise treatment, reaching deeper tissues that are difficult to address with manual techniques alone.
- Targeted Manipulation: We perform targeted manipulations to break down scar tissue and adhesions, promote blood flow, and stimulate tissue regeneration.
- Follow-up Care: After the IASTM session, we provide follow-up care instructions, including specific exercises and stretches to support continued healing and prevent recurrence of issues.
Benefits of IASTM
- Enhanced Mobility: Restores normal movement patterns by releasing tight and restricted tissues.
- Pain Relief: Reduces pain and discomfort associated with soft tissue injuries and chronic conditions.
- Accelerated Healing: Stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, leading to faster recovery times.
- Improved Performance: Enhances overall performance by addressing underlying soft tissue dysfunctions that may impair movement and flexibility.
- Prevention of Future Injuries: By maintaining healthy tissue function, IASTM helps prevent future injuries and promotes long-term wellbeing.
