Soft Tissue Release Certification – Advanced Soft Tissue Release (ASTR) Certification

ASTR clinicians are members of an exclusive community of ASTR-certified providers. Holding this certification is evidence of a provider’s extensive training and high competency in treating soft tissue injuries with the ASTR approach.

What to Expect from the ASTR Certification Program

A-Z Knowledge: The Advanced Soft Tissue Release certification program is one of the most comprehensive training programs available. Similar to how an iPhone includes many different technologies, the ASTR specialty includes many popular, older manual techniques and applies them in combination with the latest ASTR research. This leads to faster, more efficient results.

"I have been in the physical therapy industry for over 3 yrs now. 6 months ago, I started working with Dr.Jacobs and I have to say that I have never witness such a successful rate of patient recovery as I have here. Dr Joseph Jacobs definitely knows how to get to the root of the patients ailment by his patented tools and methods of physical therapy. I was skeptical at first, but after repeatedly witnessing patients recovery, I have come to believe in his practice. I am proud to be a part of helping patients with their recovery."
