IASTM Tools

Special hand tools that break down scar tissue and free up movement.

IASTM Tools at Body Mechanic, Lahore

How It Works

Smooth stainless-steel tools are gently glided over tight tissue and scar bands to break up restrictions and help the tissue layers slide over each other again — the way they should.

Key benefits

  • Breaks down scar tissue and stiff bands
  • Common in sports and after-surgery recovery
  • Paired with stretching and strengthening
  • You may see mild redness — this is normal

What We Will Do

  1. Assess The Area

    We find the exact spots where tissue isn't moving well — often around old injuries or scars.

  2. Apply A Little Cream

    A small amount of cream helps the tools glide smoothly over your skin.

  3. Guided Tool Work

    We glide the tools over the tight tissue — you may feel a firm scraping sensation, which is normal.

  4. Movement & Exercise

    Right after, we do exercises so the freed tissue learns to move well.
