Hi!
I've heard about ASTYM treatment as a relatively new physical therapy that had helped patient with various diagnosis when other treatments have failed (the ASTYM system is well established clinically and used since 1996)
This therapy is used by rehabilitation professionals to treat fibrosis that's damaged or scar tissue.
Specially designed instruments are used to scrape and mobilize damaged soft tissue in order to effectively stimulate the body’s healing response. Thus, causing the injured area to remodel or regenerate new, healthy tissue.
Appropriate treatment is determined by physical therapist after evaluation of patient's condition. ASTYM treatments are given 1-2 times per week and one session includes treatment with specially designed instruments for 15 minutes and 15 minutes of exercise.
Most patients responded well in the first three to four visits.

Do you have scar tissue due to mastectomy?
Are you planning to get ASTYM treatment?

Best wishes!

Not for myself. I heard about a gal in Indiana who had terrible post-surgical scarring and ASTYM made her pain-free. My mom had a mastectomy and I'm wondering for her sake.
Thanks so much for your reply.

I'm sorry for your mother.
When did she have the surgery?
Did she have local radiation treatment after her surgery?
I 'm sure ASTYM treatment will helped her with the healing process.
Her condition and tissue quality need to be checked first.
Correcting abnormal soft tissue is important because it may interfere with movement and cause pain.

Please, keep us update!
Best wishes to you and your family!
