148 Wellness is committed to helping our clients improve their overall health and well-being. If you have undergone surgery and are struggling with tightness from built up scar tissue, or if you’re dealing with chronic pain or tendinitis, SASTM may provide the healing you need to finally get back to what you love doing. Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a method that utilizes special tools to locate affected areas and treat soft tissue by initiating a healing response. Experience reduced pain, an increased range of motion, and more when you work with the therapists at 148 Wellness. Visit our Greenwood gym today for a free seven-day trial.
SASTM uses a specific set of tools to detect scar tissue, adhesions, and muscle knots throughout the body. This technique is comparable to Graston Technique and IASTM. Scar tissue or adhesions are formed throughout the body through normal wear and tear and overuse injuries. These tools break apart the tissue and kick start the inflammatory response to promote healing of healthy tissue.
Scar tissue is a natural response to injuries or surgery, even when they are minor. Repetitive motions, such as typing, can even cause an overuse injury that can result in carpal tunnel syndrome. As your body repairs from these minor injuries, scar tissue develops. This same process can occur in the knees, elbows, feet, shoulders, and other areas of the body.
At 148 Wellness, our therapists are highly trained in the SASTM process and technique, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment. During your treatment, a moisturizing solution will be used to allow the tools to glide smoothly over your skin. Your therapist will then begin the treatment, which takes around 20 minutes, but will depend on which area is being treated. The number of treatments necessary for healing will also depend on the severity of the scar tissue, but generally, patients may experience relief after four to eight sessions.
148 Wellness is committed to offering our customers holistic pain management solutions, including localized cryotherapy, an infrared sauna, physical therapy, and rehabilitation services. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, or looking to relieve chronic pain, our team can find a solution that fits your needs. We strive to be so much more than a gym.
