What Is ASTYM?
ASTYM (A-Stim), short for Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization, is a revolutionary therapy technique that targets underlying causes of soft tissue problems by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. At Tri Physical Therapy in Phoenix, AZ, our skilled team utilizes ASTYM to effectively treat patients suffering from a variety of conditions, such as tendinitis, scar tissue, and other chronic injuries affecting soft tissues. By using specialized instruments to gently massage and scrape the skin over the affected area, ASTYM promotes the regeneration and remodeling of healthy soft tissues. This noninvasive approach not only alleviates pain and improves mobility but also enhances overall performance and function. Our team is committed to incorporating ASTYM into personalized treatment plans, ensuring patients in Biltmore, Arcadia, Phoenix, and the surrounding areas receive the most effective care tailored to their specific needs and recovery goals.
What Can I Expect with ASTYM?
During your ASTYM treatment at Tri Physical Therapy, specialized tools will be gently worked across your skin, focusing on areas that show soft tissue dysfunction. This technique stimulates your tissues beneath the skin, breaking down unwanted scar tissue and fostering the growth of healthy soft tissues. During the treatment, you might feel sensations ranging from mild discomfort to a soothing, massage-like experience, depending on the specific area being treated and the severity of your condition. Typically, each session will last between 20 – 30 minutes and forms a key part of your comprehensive physical therapy plan, which may also include targeted exercises, Pilates, and other therapeutic modalities to support your recovery process. After your treatment, it's common to observe immediate enhancements in your movement and decreased pain levels with the most noticeable improvements occurring after multiple sessions.
What Are the Benefits of ASTYM?
ASTYM therapy stands out for its ability to address and heal soft tissue dysfunctions in a noninvasive, innovative way. Some of the key benefits you can expect from ASTYM at Tri Physical Therapy include:
- Heals soft tissues: ASTYM stimulates tissue healing and breaks down scar tissue for healthier tissue growth.

Tri Physical Therapy Reviews
Love the team at Tri PT! The PTs and massage therapists work together to reach your goals and are so caring and helpful. I recommend them highly for your physical therapy needs!!
My husband and i have been using Tri PT for almost 4 years now and they are the BEST in the business. They are attentive to your needs and there to get you back to feeling better than ever! I have 2 bulging disc's in my lower back that caused sciatic nerve pain and at the worst of it, I'd losing feeling in my leg making walking extremely difficult. No surgery, no injections, no spinal fusion and I am almost 100% pain free thanks to Tri PT! You won't find any physical therapist that cares more than Tri PT!!
Amazing and professional experience! The staff at Tri PT consistently continue to impress. From those small aches and pains to the can’t get out of bed moments, Barb and staff take the time to first understand the issues and then deliver a plan to get your body in tip top shape. I am a very happy customer and I would refer to anyone in need of an awesome physical therapist.
The therapists at Tri Physical Therapy really focus on each individual’s specific needs. They not only provide help at each appointment, but provide excellent information for how to manage at home. Highly recommend.
Would 10/10 recommend this place! I’ve been going for a little over a month now for massages/cupping. Aspen is extremely knowledgeable of the body and able to help release tension in my back and my legs. I’ve definitely been able to tell the difference since starting.
