How
does S.A.S.T.M. work?
It is theorized that S.A.S.T.M. is effective
because of the following:
| |
Instruments effectively
break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue.
The ergonomic design of these instruments
provides the clinician with the ability to
locate restrictions through sound waves like
a stethoscope and allows the clinician to
treat the affected area with the appropriate
amount of pressure, due to square surface
concept. |
| |
The introduction
of controlled microtrauma to affected soft
tissue structure causes the stimulation of
a local inflammatory response. Microtrauma
initiates reabsorption of inappropriate fibrosis
or excessive scar tissue and facilitates a
cascade of healing activities resulting in
remodeling of affected soft tissue structures.
Adhesions within the soft tissue which may
have developed as a result of surgery, immobilization,
repeated strain or other mechanisms, are broken
down allowing full functional restoration
to occur. |
