A regenerative process, not a temporary fix.
ASTYM is a specific instrument-assisted protocol. Dr. Hochung Jeon runs smooth instruments along the skin over the affected soft tissue, and that controlled pressure signals the body to start clearing away scar tissue it has laid down and to regenerate soft tissue that has degenerated over time.
That distinction matters. Plenty of treatments manage a symptom while the tissue underneath stays exactly as it was. ASTYM is aimed at changing the tissue itself, which is why it is often the right choice for a problem that has been there for months and has not settled with rest.
Assess, treat, then load.
Assessment First
Dr. Jeon maps where the tissue has actually changed and how that is affecting the way you move, checking the whole body rather than only the sore area you came in about.
Instrument Work Along the Tissue
The instruments are drawn over the skin along the affected tissue. It can feel rough or tender over the worst spots, and that is usually exactly where the scar tissue sits.
Loading That Rebuilds
Stretching and strengthening follow immediately. The regeneration ASTYM starts is shaped by the load you put through the tissue afterward, so the exercise is not optional.
