ASTR Institute provides a comprehensive, holistic treatment approach designed to address pain at its source. The ASTR (Biopsychosocial) model, developed by Dr. Joseph Jacobs, Doctor of Physical Therapy, utilizes patented medical tools and devices to gently release superficial and deep fibrotic tissue, myofascial release, visceral release, and trigger points, while also reducing inflammation?a common contributor to chronic pain. The ASTR approach further integrates proper nutrition, inflammation management, laboratory testing, posture correction, body mechanics, ergonomics, behavior modification, stress management, and tailored exercises to provide a holistic solution for pain management.
