Frequently Asked Questions:
What rehab tools are most commonly used by physical therapists?
Physical therapists often rely on evidence-based tools like BFR cuffs for controlled resistance training, IASTM tools for soft tissue mobilization, and recovery devices to assist in pain management and mobility restoration.
How do BFR devices benefit physical therapy patients?
BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) devices help patients build strength and muscle mass using lower loads, which is especially beneficial during post-operative recovery or when joint stress must be minimized. They’re a clinically validated tool used in rehab settings nationwide.
What are IASTM tools and when are they used in rehab?
IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) tools help therapists identify and treat fascial restrictions and soft tissue dysfunction. They’re commonly used in outpatient rehab clinics to reduce pain, increase range of motion, and accelerate recovery.
Are Smart Tools products suitable for clinical use?
Yes. All Smart Tools products are engineered to meet the standards of physical therapists, athletic trainers, and rehabilitation professionals. They're trusted in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and elite performance centers.
Can these rehab tools be used by patients at home?
Many of our tools are designed for both clinician-guided and at-home use. However, we recommend professional instruction, especially for BFR training, to ensure safety and maximize effectiveness.
