Physician Information relieves pain restores movement keeps patients active What is Astym therapy? Astym treatment is regenerative physical/occupational therapy that resolves many frustrating musculoskeletal cases, including tendinopathies and post-op or post-injury scarring. Astym treatment is one of the most researched and effective therapy interventions available, and it is unmatched in its ability to resolve a wide range of soft tissue dysfunctions. The Astym process includes the non-invasive stimulation of regenerative mechanisms of the body, and a customized program of stretching and exercise, which positively influences the alignment of new collagen. Solves chronic "unresolvable" cases Quickly decreases pain and increases range of motion Treatment course is just 4-5 weeks (8-10 visits) Targets the source of the problem, not just the symptoms Evaluates and addresses the entire kinetic chain Stimulates regeneration of damaged soft tissues and the resorption of scar tissue Patients continue to be active during therapy (sports, work) Clinicians undergo intensive training to become certified in Astym therapy Diagnoses that respond well to Astym therapy: Post-surgical scar tissue Post-traumatic scar tissue Lateral epicondylosis Medial epicondylosis Carpal tunnel syndrome DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis Rotator cuff tendinopathy Plantar fasciopathy Chronic ankle sprains Achilles tendinopathy Shin splints Anterior knee pain Patellar tendinopathy Hamstring strains IT band syndrome Hip pain/trochanteric bursitis SI/low back pain Chronic tendinopathies An independently collected databank of over 10,000 cases from across the country indicates that 92% of all patients treated with Astym therapy achieve improved function and decreased pain, even if the condition is chronic or previous treatment has been unsuccessful. Outcomes data for specific conditions are available on the Astym website, or may be obtained from your local Astym-certified therapist. How should I advise my patients? It is important to make sure the patient sees a properly trained therapist that is certified in Astym therapy. All certified providers are listed under the Find a Provider section at www.astym.com. The certified therapist will follow specific treatment parameters to initiate a regenerative process in the affected soft tissues, including applying mild to moderate topical pressures with Astym instrumentation, and providing a customized program of stretching and exercise.
