ASTR is a biopsychosocial treatment model that utilizes ASTR instruments, to treat pain at it's source. ASTR treatment includes working on multiple aspects including: scar tissue, fascia restriction, trigger points, muscle spasms, ergonomics, gait, exercise, nutrition, inflammation, stress management and behavior modification.
ASTR can treat many conditions such as: TMJ, headaches, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain, hip pain, knee pain, post surgery pain, chronic pain syndrome, myofascial pain, bursitis, tendonitis, muscle strains, carpal tunnel syndrome, and so much more!
ASTR's outcome helps: relieve pain, relieve headaches, muscle relaxation, increase muscle flexibility, decrease muscle spasm, increase joint range of motion, relieve tender points, increase muscle strength, decrease tissue fibrosis, increase blood circulation and decrease fascia restriction.
Traditional medical approaches for treating soft tissue pain utilizes heat/cold packs, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage, stretching, exercise, joint mobilization and pain medication. Temporary relief can be achieved with these methods, but more often than not, the pain returns because these techniques only treat the symptoms and not the true source of the pain. As pain returns, patients are required to see their practitioner on a regular basis for treatment. This continuous treatment can be quite costly!
In contrast, ASTR provides virtually pain-free and long-term pain relief by addressing the source of patients pain by looking at the body holistically.
