Default SASTM - Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Just wondering if anyone has experience with SASTM - Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. If so, what has your experience been?

I just started receiving the treatments from my Chiropractor. I shattered my wrist a few years ago and had minimum range of movement with no hopes of it getting better (or so the Ortho told me)......UNTIL my Chiropractor introduced me to SASTM. I have received 2 treatments on my wrist and I am already noticing a great improvement in my range of movement!!

4 1/2 years ago Neil crashed during a Road Crit (he and a pack of about 17 riders went down, when a newbie pinballed bringing everyone down). He hit the ground and broke his pelvis in 3 places. Maddie had been seeing a chiro for ear infections, when Dr. Steve heard Neil had crashed he wanted to treat Neil. He used SASTM as part of Neils treatment. When Neil went back to the ortho 5 weeks after his fall and was walking well the Ortho was very surprised based on Neils breaks he was kinda like *Whatever works*.

SASTM was a huge part of Neils recovery! If it had not been for it, Neil would have been down and out for much longer. Neil was back on the bike racing in 3 months...

Actually just recently Dr. Steve contacted us here in SoCal he wanted Neil to be part of a news piece they were doing on SASTM - Dr. Steve to this day considers Neils recovery one of his best examples of what it can do for someone.

This Dr. clearly has no idea what kind of freak of nature your husband is.... He could've prescribed used-motor-oil enemas and Neal would have had an amazing recovery and immediately gotten back to racing, embarrassing and /or generally harassing skinny people and XC racers on his SS

I'm not discounting the validity or value of SASTM at all.
