Astym Therapy FAQ

How long does an Astym treatment session take?

On average, an Astym treatment session is around 15-30 minutes depending on your injury or condition. Most conditions resolve after 4-5 weeks of treatment and therapy.

Is Astym therapy right for me?

Astym therapy helps countless people each day. However, whether it is right for you can only be determined by your healthcare providers. It’s important to be properly evaluated by a trusted medical professional and consult with them before deciding on a course of treatment. Search your city or zip code and contact an Astym Certified provider in your area to see if Astym therapy is right for you.

Can Astym therapy be uncomfortable?

The treatment you receive should always be within your tolerance, and you should talk with your certified provider and be honest about your experience – that will help you get the best results.

Does Astym break up scar tissue?

While some treatments focus on misguided attempts to mechanically break apart scar tissue, Astym treatment focuses on activating the regenerative mechanisms of the body by using scientifically developed protocols to engage the body to resorb problematic scar tissue and stimulate healing of soft tissues.

Will my insurance pay for Astym therapy?

If your insurance plan includes physical and occupational therapy, Astym therapy should be covered by your insurance. If your plan does not include physical and occupational therapy, talk with your therapist about other payment options.

How do I know if my therapist is an Astym Certified provider?

All Astym Certified clinicians are required to go through advanced education and the certification process in order to provide Astym therapy to their patients. We keep a full directory of Astym Certified providers on our website. In addition, all certified therapists use specially designed instruments labeled with the “Astym” logo. Most of these instruments are blue, but some are transparent.

Astym Therapy Works

“I CAN WALK AGAIN”

“I’ve suffered from plantar fasciitis for over 4 years… My mobility went downhill and I had surgery in September… My physical therapist worked with me until my incisions healed and then the Astym therapist started working on me. I immediately started feeling better and was walking by the next week. Not a lot of walking but I no longer needed my wheel chair to get inside the facility. I received Astym 2x a week for approximately 10 weeks. I am so grateful for this therapy and the continued support of my therapists! Truly amazing!”

Marella McCarthy, Plantar Fasciitis

“True Peace of mind”

“After driving back to Wyoming from Nebraska my lower back was starting to kill me. At one point it was so bad that my back would lock up and put me on the ground… I went to Momentum Physical Therapy and on my first they had me do stretches and an Astym treatment… after the second treatment 2 days later I could get up out of bed and out of my office chair with little to no pain. Astym therapy is amazing and I can’t wait to get on the golf course once the weather gets better. I can do things again that I wouldn’t do in fear of hurting my back. Knowing that I can go get Astym therapy if it starts hurting again is true peace of mind.”

Jeremy Burks, Back Pain

“I HAVE MY LIFE BACK”

I had cortisone shots for my persistent hip bursitis, but the pain didn’t go away, and I was told I would have to have a hip replacement. Instead, with Astym treatment, I’ve gone from being paralyzed by steps to walking for days at a time, gardening, and going to the grocery store. I have my life back, and that’s GREAT.
