Our Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) services focus on you!

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a soft tissue treatment technique that is often used in conjunction with muscle release therapy. It uses specifically designed stainless steel instruments to help our Chiropractor identify and break down scar tissue within the musculoskeletal system.

The goal of IASTM is to separate and break down scar tissue, as well as stretch connective tissue and muscle fibres. Using a cross-friction massage, rubbing against the grain of the scar tissue, our chiropractor re-introduces very small amounts of trauma to the affected area. This temporarily causes inflammation in the local area, which thereby increases the rate and amount of blood flow in and around the area. This process helps initiate and promote the healing process of the affected soft tissues.

What People Are Saying

Feeling great! I've been coming here for a few months now and was originally concerned because I am a large person at 6ft 5 and 310 lbs. Dr Tyler has no issues making adjustments and I can say after many years of different chiropractors this is the best I've ever felt. It's a nice large and clean office and rooms and very friendly. Price is good and I would definitely recommend!

Both Dr. Tyler and Melissa have been great with my entire family. The office is incredibly welcoming and they are very professional but they are down to earth and honest. Tyler has provided incredible relief to me when I have been feeling at my worst! I highly recommend WAKE Wellness and their incredible team!

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to visit and book my next appointment at Wake Wellness. I waited for a friend to have a treatment and it felt like the logo says -Wake Wellness. You definitely feel the Wellness atmosphere, I had an amazing greeting, coffee, breakfast if I didn't have time at home. Many wonderful places in Midland but I am so very happy to have such a Wellness, health felt experience when I walked in the door. What a wonderful addition to the services we come to expect in Midland.
