Patient receiving ASTYM therapy on knee from physical therapist.

ASTYM (A-stim) treatment is a rehabilitation program that stimulates the regenerative healing process of the body. This approach is a non-invasive therapy that works fast and consistently. The ASTYM system rejuvenates muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It gets rid of scar tissue problems from old injuries in a fashion previously unimaginable. We have the scientific background, data, and experience that proves it.

ASTYM Can Help With Chronic Pain

If you haven’t heard of AYSTM and you’re living with pain, you should consider looking into it. Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is a manual physical therapy technique performed at Prairie Rehabilitation.

Our South Dakota and Minnesota physical therapists and occupational therapists use special plastic or metal tools to gently move and scrape against the skin to relieve pain, decrease inflammation, and promote the healing process.

What does ASTYM do?

You may be thinking, “Why should tools be used in physical therapy?”

Most manual physical therapy treatments are performed with the hands, but instruments can offer several advantages!

These special tools, for instance, can effectively break down fascia (connective tissue) restrictions and scar tissue.

An ASTYM-trained physical or occupational therapist will use a variety of different speeds and pressures when practicing this particular procedure, and it will be dependent on the essence of your condition and your individual needs.

ASTYM has been proven to help with:

  • Limited motion
  • Motor control issues
  • Pain with movement

When using certain levels of pressure through ASTYM on the affected muscles, tendons, or ligaments, a mild inflammatory response is initiated.

While this may seem counterintuitive, inflammation helps promote the body’s natural healing process, so you can recover and get back to your life faster.
