IASTM stands for Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It’s a technique used in physical therapy and rehabilitation that involves the use of specialized tools to help treat soft tissue injuries and improve mobility. The tools are designed to detect and treat areas of restriction or dysfunction in the muscles, tendons, and fascia.

For setting up an IASTM program or describing an IASTM set, you might include the following components:

1. Tools: Various instruments with different shapes and edges to address different tissue types and conditions (e.g., Graston tools, Gua Sha tools, etc.).
2. Training and Certification: Ensuring practitioners are properly trained and certified in IASTM techniques to use the tools effectively.
3. Technique Protocols: Specific protocols for how to apply the tools, including pressure, stroke direction, and duration.
4. Assessment: Procedures for assessing patient needs and determining which tools and techniques are most appropriate.
5. Safety and Hygiene: Guidelines for cleaning and maintaining tools, as well as ensuring the safety of both the practitioner and the patient.
6. Patient Education: Providing information to patients about what to expect during and after treatment, including possible sensations and recovery processes.
7. Documentation: Recording treatment sessions, patient progress, and any outcomes or feedback to track effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.
