Ttool Therapy
Break down scar tissue, restore mobility and accelerate recovery with instrument‑assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM) using the innovative T Tool. Same‑day appointments available at Hekas Sport Therapy.
What Is T Tool Therapy?
T Tool Therapy is an evidence‑based form of instrument‑assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM) that uses the ergonomic, stainless‑steel Alfacare T Tool to perform scraping, pin‑and‑stretch and ischaemic compression techniques without stressing the therapist’s hands. The tool’s multiple edges allow precise pressure over skin or clothing, releasing myofascial adhesions and improving circulation for faster healing.

Ttool FAQs
What to Expect After Treatment?
Mild redness or petechiae (tiny red spots) can appear for 24–48 hours as circulation increases—this is normal. Most clients notice immediate freedom of movement; cumulative gains build over 3–4 sessions.
Will it hurt?
You’ll feel firm pressure and a warming sensation; discomfort stays within your tolerance. We adjust intensity in real time.
How many sessions do I need?
Acute strains often improve within 2–3 visits; chronic issues may need 4–6 spaced over several weeks.
Can I exercise afterwards?
Yes—light activity is encouraged to reinforce new tissue mobility. Avoid maximal loads for 24 hours.
