IASTM – Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation

IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation/Mobilization, and it uses a tool which allows the practitioner to quickly yet effectively scan the painful area, and to gently release scar tissue within the fascia or muscles and tendons, thus reducing soft tissue/myofascial related pain and dysfunction.

Conditions most effectively treated include, but are not limited to:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Ilio-tibial (IT) band syndrome
  • Sciatica and leg numbness
  • Golfers and Tennis elbow
  • Knee/patella tendonitis
  • Stiff neck

I have had 2 chiropractic sessions with Dr Luke so far and I will like to say that it has been a great experience. Dr Luke is patient, confident, positive, thorough, involved and a very dedicated doctor. It's unlike any other doctors I've seen in the past year. Due to my chronic shoulder injury, I have been seeking help from Osteopaths, Physios and Chiros but none addressed my problems like how Dr Luke has in 2 sessions. Also, Dr Luke is very skilled in pregnant women chiro so that has been an added bonus and i feel very safe in Dr Luke's hands. My husband and I have been very pleased with the service and skills of Dr Luke. I also want to commend Shirley. She was the first to pick up my first call when I called up for an enquiry. She was very patient, kind and sincere in finding out what I needed and great in arranging followup visits. Thank you guys, I am so glad I found your clinic. Keep doing what you do.

I was recommended by my sister-in-law to visit Dr Luke for my pregnancy related back pains. Initially I was skeptical as I tried other methods (Prenatal massages, etc) which did not work. Moreover I was worried that it is not safe for my pregnancy. However after seeing Dr Luke for the first time, I felt very reassured that I am in safe hands. He takes his time to check and do the adjustments needed to alleviate my backpains. I saw him twice a month during my 2nd trimester, then once a week during my 3rd trimester. My labour only took a total of 2 hours after my water bag broke even though it is my first child. I truly believe that the sessions with Dr Luke helped in allowing me to have such a smooth and fast labour! I highly recommend all pregnant women to go for regular visits with Dr Luke to relieve the pregnancy aches and pains, and also for a smooth labour! Thank you Dr Luke! Also thank you to Shirley who always try to squeeze me into his schedule cos he is so popular that he's booked out months in advance.

The best Chiro treatment I have experienced so far. Dr luke will take his time to attend to your pains and adjustments, unlike many others where within 5 minutes are done with the adjustments. Highly recommended.

was able to diagnose and help me but im so glad i found Dr Luke and his team! 🙂 Dr Luke has been providing chiropractic care to me for many years. He's a very competent and caring chiropractor who places emphasis on the welfare of his patients. I never have to worry when he makes adjustments to my spine. Before chiropractic adjustments, I would suffer for days on end with a stiff neck or shoulder as the other treatments I tried, such as TCM, osteopathy, massage and even physiotherapy took a long time to work in terms of the pain I suffered. But with Dr Luke, this has never been a problem. I was amazed the first time I was treated by him when I had a stiff neck, which the other treatments hadn't helped much. The pain subsided, I regained a range of motion so quickly, and I recovered from the stiff neck within a day or two.

Fay was amazing! Every spot she massage was spot on. Shared with her about my sciatic back pain and she targeted it. It felt so sore yet relieving at the same time. I would wanna visit again and invite my husband along to visit chiropractor!
