Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a popular treatment for myofascial restriction. IASTM uses specially designed instruments to provide a mobilizing effect to scar tissue and myofascial adhesions. It is applied using instruments that are usually made of stainless steel with beveled edges and contours that can conform to different body anatomical locations and allows for deeper penetration.

The introduction of controlled microtrauma to affected soft tissue structure causes the stimulation of 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.

Tabitha Croy

Massage Therapist

Tabitha is a licensed massage therapist and certified yoga teacher serving the Northern Virginia area since 2017. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge of healing energies with others who have had difficulty finding relief from chronic pain, stress, and trauma. When conventional medicinal approaches failed to address her own health concerns, she turned to alternative therapies like yoga, Reiki, and therapeutic massage. Her intensive study of the body and its energy properties have had a deep and lasting impact in all areas of her life, far above and beyond my initial pursuit of pain management. 

She has dedicated years to mastering the same skills that brought her so much comfort, so she could also help others find relief. She combines the more physical, clinical techniques like orthopedic and sports massage with the subtler, energy healing techniques like Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, and Visceral Manipulation to bridge the gaps between healing mind, body, and spirit. She is a graduate of the Northern Virginia Community College Massage Therapy Program and earned her Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Certification through YogaFit.
