Northwest Physical Therapy, located inside Bluffton Family Recreation, 215 Snider Road, has a clinician on staff who is now certified in Astym treatment, a new therapy developed to target the cause of the pain rather than just the symptoms, according to Dan Settlage.  

"Astym treatment is unmatched in its ability to resolve tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles and patellar tendonitis, scar tissue problems, and other soft tissue dysfunctions,” said Settlage. 

He added that Astym treatment is the regenerative medicine of therapy and is designed to restore soft tissues at a cellular level.

It rebuilds and heals the soft tissues of the body through regeneration of healthy soft tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.), and removal of unwanted scar tissue that may be causing pain or movement restrictions.

Astym therapy does not involve injections or surgery.  It therapy has helped countless people by restoring their movement, getting rid of their pain, and giving them back their lives, said Settlage.
