Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization – IASTM
IASTM is based on an ancient Chinese technique called gua sha, which used ivory tools to ‘scrape’ along the surface of the skin, creating a healing effect. In conjunction with ART and chiropractic, IASTM can help break up restrictions in the fascia and soft tissue using stainless steel tools or instruments. Sometimes there are stubborn spots in the areas we work on, and IASTM is a great way to target those tougher areas.
“When I first came to see Dr. Qureshi, I had back pain everyday. I had been to several doctors but no one could explain the pain I had. A friend referred me to her and said she was an excellent chiropractor. Dr. Qureshi listened to my specific problems and explained everything she would do to help me. She made me feel comfortable and each time I saw her, she would teach me something new to help me get better. I am now back to working out five days a week and feel excellent. I have my life back and am very grateful.”
