Soft Tissue ASTYM System PDF Print E-mail
 
Dr. Brian Joyner, PT, DPT and Rob Robinson, MS, PT have recently become certified in ASTYM. The ASTYM system is a therapy approach that addresses problems such as scarring, fibrosis and degeneration that occurs in soft tissue.
These problems may develop as the result of trauma, surgery, or overuse. The system is effective for new injuries as well as chronic, nagging conditions. 
The ASTYM System uses instruments along the surface of the skin to locate problem areas and start the body’s healing process. Soft tissue adhesions and resulting restrictions are identified and broken down.
Exercise and activity are integrated to guide the body’s healing in the most advantageous manner possible. Continuation of work and recreational activity throughout the treatment process promotes optimal healing.


What is the ASTYM system and how does it work?
The ASTYM System is a therapy approach that addresses problems such as scarring, fibrosis and degeneration that occur in soft tissues. These problems may develop as the result of trauma, surgery or overuse. The System is effective for new injury as well as chronic, nagging conditions.

The ASTYM system uses instruments along the surface of the skin to locate these problem areas and start the body's healing process. As the body heals, exercise and activity help guide the healing, which allows you to return to activities without pain and limitation. The success of the ASTYM System is documented for a wide variety of diagnoses and many times it helps patients where other treatments have failed.

The ASTYM System is used in settings ranging from therapy clinics to hospitals to industrial rehabilitation. This proven treatment helps countless patients every day.
