Three Conditions That Can Benefit from ASTYM Therapy
Leave a CommentIf you’ve been dealing with chronic pain, nagging injuries, or stubborn scar tissue, ASTYM therapy might be the missing piece in your recovery. This specialized treatment uses instrument-assisted techniques to stimulate healing, break down scar tissue, and improve mobility, helping you return to the activities you love.
Here are three conditions where ASTYM may benefit patients.
1. Tendonitis (Elbow / Achilles)
If you’ve ever dealt with “tendon trouble,” you know how frustrating it can be. ASTYM helps stimulate the body’s natural healing response, promoting new collagen growth and breaking up damaged tissue so your tendons can rebuild stronger. Whether it’s tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or Achilles tendonitis, this therapy can help get you back in action.
2. Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain that greets you first thing in the morning is often plantar fasciitis. ASTYM works to break up adhesions in the plantar fascia, improve blood flow, and encourage healing, making those first steps of the day much more comfortable.
3. Post-Surgical Scarring and Stiffness
After surgery, scar tissue can sometimes limit mobility and cause discomfort. ASTYM helps remodel scar tissue, improving flexibility and reducing tightness so you can regain full range of motion more quickly.
ASTYM is a safe and effective treatment for many conditions, but it works best when paired with a customized exercise program. If you’re dealing with one of these issues and haven’t seen results from other treatments, it might be time to give ASTYM a try! Talk to your physical therapist to see if ASTYM therapy could be beneficial as part of your treatment plan. The goal? Less pain, better movement, and a quicker return to doing what you love.
