What is the ASTYM System?

The ASTYM system* is a therapy approach which provides patients relief from a number of injuries and disorders (click on “Which diagnoses respond well to the ASTYM system” to see a listing). This treatment is effective for new injuries as well as persistent, nagging injuries. One of the most exciting aspects of the treatment is that significant improvement often occurs even in cases where other treatments have failed. The success of the System is documented for a wide variety of diagnoses and can be viewed in the Outcomes and Research Section.

*The ASTYM System originated as Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization or “ASTM” and was then known as ASTM AdvantEDGE before the name was shortened to ASTYMTM .
Looks like standard ischemic compression of trigger points to me.
