During treatment, a smooth stainless steel instrument is gently moved across the skin over the affected muscles, tendons or ligaments.
The instrument allows your chiropractor to detect areas of tissue restriction that may not be easily identified by hand. Controlled pressure helps stimulate circulation, encourage tissue repair and restore normal movement.
Treatment is tailored to your condition and is often combined with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation exercises for the best results.
Instrument Assisted Massage is a safe, evidence-based treatment widely used by chiropractors, physiotherapists and sports therapists to restore healthy movement and reduce soft tissue pain.
Many patients notice improved movement and reduced muscle tightness after just one or two treatments.
The number of sessions required depends on your condition, but IAM is commonly included as part of a wider rehabilitation programme to help achieve long-lasting results.
You may experience mild tenderness or slight redness following treatment as blood flow increases to the affected area. These effects are completely normal and usually settle within 24-48 hours.
