What is Advanced Soft Tissue Release (ASTR)?

ASTR is an evidence-based, biopsychosocial treatment model developed by Dr. Joseph Jacobs, Doctor of Physical Therapy. It treats pain at its source by breaking down scar tissue, releasing fascia restrictions, and reducing inflammation. Unlike traditional methods that offer temporary relief, ASTR provides long-term results through a holistic approach that includes nutrition, lifestyle changes, and exercise.

This self-paced online certification teaches healthcare providers how to use patented ASTR tools for effective, pain-free treatments, making it an essential addition to any massage therapy or pain management practice.
