ASTR IASTM Tools

Myofascial Release, Scar Tissue & Root-Cause Pain Treatment

When Everything Else Has Failed

ASTR IASTM Tools are precision-engineered instruments designed to treat chronic pain, scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and movement limitations at the source.

These are not basic massage tools.

They are clinical-grade instruments used to identify, break down, and restore dysfunctional soft tissue so the body can move and heal properly.

What These Tools Are Designed To Do

ASTR IASTM tools are built to:

  • Break down scar tissue and adhesions
  • Release superficial and deep fascia
  • Restore mobility and range of motion
  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Improve circulation and tissue healing
  • Precisely target trigger points

This is a mechanical, structural approach to treatment, not temporary symptom relief.

Why IASTM Works

Pain is often caused by restricted soft tissue, including:

  • Scar tissue
  • Fascial adhesions
  • Muscle imbalances
  • Chronic inflammation

IASTM works by:

  • Detecting abnormal tissue
  • Applying controlled mechanical pressure
  • Breaking down adhesions
  • Stimulating the body’s healing response

This allows the body to restore normal movement and eliminate pain at its root.

The ASTR Tool System

Each ASTR tool is designed for a specific layer of tissue and clinical purpose, allowing for precise and progressive treatment.

A1 Fascia Tool (Large)

  • Designed for superficial and aponeurotic fascia release
  • Covers larger surface areas efficiently
  • Ideal for back, thighs, and major muscle groups

This tool is used early in treatment to open up the superficial fascial layers and improve glide.

A2 Fascia Tool (Small)

  • Targets superficial and deeper fascia layers
  • Works on aponeurotic, epimysium, and perimysium fascia
  • Provides more precision than A1

Used for areas that require more control and deeper engagement.

A3 Scar Tissue Tool (Large)

  • Designed for broad scar tissue release
  • Covers larger scarred or fibrotic regions
  • Helps reduce adhesions across wider areas

Ideal for post-surgical scars or widespread tissue restriction.

A4 Scar Tissue Tool (Small)

  • Designed for targeted scar tissue work
  • Allows precise treatment of smaller or sensitive areas
  • Focuses on dense adhesions

Used when accuracy and control are critical.

A5 Deep Fascia & Scar Tissue Tool

  • Designed for very deep fascia layers, including:
    • Perimysium
    • Endomysium
    • Visceral restrictions
  • Targets deep, chronic scar tissue and adhesions

This is the most advanced tool in the system, used for complex, long-standing conditions where deeper structures are involved.

MagnaHeal Integration

MagnaHeal is used alongside the ASTR tools to:

  • Speed up the healing process
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Support tissue recovery after treatment

This combination enhances outcomes by addressing both:

  • Mechanical dysfunction (tools)
  • Biological healing response (MagnaHeal)

Professional-Grade Design

ASTR tools are built for clinical performance:

  • Medical-grade stainless steel
  • Precision beveled edges
  • Ergonomic grip and control
  • Smooth polished finish for optimal glide

Each tool provides tactile feedback, allowing the practitioner to feel tissue restrictions and treat them accurately.

Conditions These Tools Are Used For

ASTR IASTM tools are commonly used to treat:

  • Chronic neck and back pain
  • Shoulder and rotator cuff issues
  • Tennis elbow and repetitive strain injuries
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • IT band syndrome
  • Post-surgical scar tissue
  • Trigger points and muscle tightness

Who These Tools Are For

These tools are used by:

  • Physical therapists
  • Chiropractors
  • Sports medicine professionals
  • Manual therapists
  • Athletes and high-performance individuals
  • Patients with chronic pain

What Makes ASTR Different

Most tools focus on surface-level relief.

ASTR focuses on:

  • The root cause of pain
  • The structure of soft tissue
  • The mechanical dysfunction driving symptoms

This is why ASTR tools are used in cases where:

Nothing else has worked.

Complete System with Hard Case

Your ASTR tool system includes:

  • A1 Fascia Tool (Large)
  • A2 Fascia Tool (Small)
  • A3 Scar Tissue Tool (Large)
  • A4 Scar Tissue Tool (Small)
  • A5 Deep Fascia & Scar Tissue Tool
  • Hard protective case for storage and transport

This ensures your tools remain organized, protected, and ready for use.

Why Choose ASTR IASTM Tools

ASTR IASTM Tools are designed for those who want more than temporary relief.

They provide a system to:

  • Identify dysfunction
  • Treat the source of pain
  • Restore normal movement
  • Support long-term recovery

If you are looking for a professional-grade solution for myofascial release, scar tissue, and chronic pain, ASTR tools deliver one of the most advanced approaches available.

“I have been troubled with the worsening effects of Ankylosing Spondylities (spine arthritis, back pain). After having lived with the disease for over 40 years, I was skeptical that any relief would be possible. To my astonishment, I experienced immediate relief after one session. I am very appreciative of the work you do.”
William KBack Pain
“After having 18 months of traditional physical therapy after two knee surgeries to replace my ACL, I was skeptical that anything more could be done to help my knee pain and stiffness. After just one visit, I was amazed with the results that Doctor Jacobs was able to produce with his Advanced Soft Tissue Release technique! .... I was very impressed with how my knee responded and loosened up, especially since it has been two years since my original surgery. I went in a skeptic and now I’m a believer!” 
Mychal TKnee Pain
“For a year, I couldn’t open my hand. My thumb had very limited movement without a lot of pain. It was difficult to lift anything, even small, or move my hand a certain way without pain. Last year I had two injections put into the area for pain management. And before that, I did about 5-6 months of chiropractic, but the pain would always come right back. As of today, I’ve had 3 ASTR treatments. I can open my hand completely and feel no pain at all. ASTR works! Without a doubt, it does work!“
CarolHand Pain
"Along with the elimination of medication. ASTR technique reduced my migraines in frequency and intensity tremendously"
Jessica YMigraines
“I have recovered quickly thanks to Doctor Jacobs; my pain has not only gone down significantly, but has been eliminated entirely. Doctor Jacob’s ASTR technique works quickly. My favorite thing about it is that it’s pain free. I would definitely recommend his therapy to anyone I know with chronic pain.”
Candace PJaw Pain
"I was able to resume all of my normal activities following his treatment and the headache did not return.”
Jeremy RHeadache
“I was experiencing muscle strain in my forearm and my bicep. I had limited range of motion, I wasn’t able to sleep, and I wasn’t able to extend my arm. After 3 sessions, I was pain-free. And after my fourth session had full range of motion again, was able to sleep, and I’m actually going back and starting to work out. I’m very happy with the therapy and the results!”
KathyElbow Pain
"I was having headaches about 50% of the time for the past several months. After several treatments my headaches started to diminish and I've been headache free for the past couple of months. It's wonderful not to have pain."
Liz SHeadache
"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."
Dee Ann PopePrevious Coworker
"I was having bad headaches just about every day after work. After just the first visit my headaches were gone and have't come back"
Drew AHeadache
“For the past year, I was getting numb and tight in my foot. The numbness was horrendous and I didn’t know what to do. After 7 ASTR treatment, now I feel no pain at all. It’s all been very comfortable.”
RichardFoot Pain
“I walked in with TMJ, limited range of motion and pain in my neck and shoulders (with shooting pain above my right ear). After just one treatment, my neck and shoulders got immediate relief! After 3 treatments, my sharp shooting pain above my ear was gone. I’m confident that with “Advanced Soft Tissue Release,” and my diligence in following the exercise program provided, I will soon feel like new again.”
Margarete EJaw Pain
“Before treatment, I had very limited range of motion when turning my neck from side to side or bending forward. After one treatment, I felt a release and could bend and turn my neck with less stress. The treatment was pain free, not invasive and better than any massage I’ve ever had!"
CathyNeck Pain
"I felt back to normal after about a week. My wrist has nearly gained back all of its range of motion after two weeks and pain has reduced substantially. I would highly recommend ASTR to anyone.”
Alex BBack & Wrist Pain
“I had a neck spasm three days ago and I couldn’t move my neck. My neck was stiff and my shoulder was really numb. Now I have almost no pain. I had three treatments and now I can move my neck.”
AnthonyNeck Pain
" It was frustrating process to receive 3 months of physical therapy, 2 cortisone shots, and 3 different orthotics with minimal relief....Thank you so much Dr. Jacobs for relieving my chronic plantar fasciitis pain. I decided to follow the whole program and in just 3 visits I was able to hike 3 miles without pain.You know your stuff and very smart to invent ASTR tools and treatment. I hope more doctors to learn from you."
Elsie JPlantar Fasciitis
"I have been suffering from chronic neck, shoulders, knees pain due to fibromyalgia for the last 12 years.

Janice SalmonJaw, neck & stomach pain
"I saw Dr. Jacobs 3 years ago for daily tension headaches. I was miserable and taking Advil everyday. After several treatments, the scar tissue which I didn't even realize I had on my head and neck finally began to disappear. After about 6 weeks, I no longer had headaches. To this day I still do not! Thank you!"
Melissa KHeadache
"The ASTR tools have been extremely useful in heading off my headaches or migraines as I feel them coming on, as well as tight muscles and other aches"
Stacy HMigraine
"Not your everyday physical therapy, they have an understanding of your body and method to rehabilitation that I have not seen at other places. I would highly recommend this place as they are friendly and take extra steps to help you to become physically whole again."
Maher SBack Pain
"I had a treatment for my morton neuroma for which I had been suffering for 2 years. I had medical treatment but nothing changed. The doctor asked me to do a surgery. I did not want to. I flew 24 hours to have Dr Jacob's treatment: it was really worth. After the first treatment the result was obvious: no pain anymore and I could wear shoes again. Just astonishing! 2 weeks after, there is no more sign of pain. My foot doesn't hurt anymore. I can walk and run. I can sleep a whole night without being woken up by the pain. It's great!"
Christine DMorton's Neuroma
" My back pain had been present for 7 years and after one treatment it was as if it was a new back. I can move it properly now and there is no more pain. The treatment is really a good one, an incredible one!"
Christine DBack & Neck Pain
"I was experiencing lower back pain for over 5 years. My back pain was getting worst in the last year so I tried massage therapy, chiropractic care, physical therapy and pain medication but I did not experience relief.....I sew him twice and my pain is totally gone. Now I am able to walk, sleep and drive without back pain. I am a believer of Dr.Jacobs inventive treatment that called ASTR. I highly recommend ASTR treatment for back or muscle pain."
Shea GBack Pain
" I finally got relief from my knee pain after going to see Dr. Jacobs ..... His approach to physical therapy is very holistic. I wasted several months going to traditional medical doctors who decided that it was my diet or "in my head" without getting anywhere before finding Dr. Jacobs."
