Reduce pain, restore mobility and accelerate recovery with expert manual therapy and instrument‑assisted soft‑tissue mobilisation (IASTM) using the cutting‑edge T Tool at Hekas Sport Therapy.
What Is IASTM Therapy?
Manual therapy combines skilled hands‑on techniques—joint mobilisation, soft‑tissue release and neural glides—with IASTM scraping via the stainless‑steel T Tool. Together they break down scar‑tissue adhesions, ease muscle tension and improve joint mechanics faster than massage alone.
Key Benefits of IASTM with the T Tool
Rapid Pain Reduction – Manual pressure and IASTM boost circulation and calm irritated nerves.
Breaks Down Scar Tissue – T Tool edges shear adhesions, restoring glide between muscle layers.
Improves Flexibility & Range – Joint mobilisations free up stiff capsules so you move naturally.
Speeds Athletic Recovery – Clears metabolic waste and accelerates tissue remodelling post-exercise.
Drug-Free – A natural solution without reliance on pain medication.

Manual Therapy & IASTM 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.
Does IASTM therapy 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.
