Soft tissue mobilization(STM)/Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization(IASTM)/Cupping
STM is a specific assessment, evaluation and treatment of soft tissues (ligaments, muscles, tendons, and fascia) for the purpose of creating beneficial effects on the nervous, musculoskeletal, lymph, and circulatory systems.
It can be done by using IASTM tools such as stainless steel tools, jade or cupping which are a great adjunct to Physical Therapy.
