For those who have never experienced the feeling of imminent death, it is hard to understand what living with an illness like cancer or any other life-threatening health issue feels like. But for people who do live this experience day in and out, they know only too well how devastating these situations can be on their mental state as they try desperately to fight against them. Dr. Joseph Jacobs is one of the few people who have felt a true need to help others, and this has made him an inspiration in recent years. Having seen first-hand the devastating effects of disability and other musculoskeletal pain, he developed and patented the use of ASTR medical tools so people can use it at home and follow simple online step-by-step self-treatment programs.
Advanced Soft Tissue Release is a patented, cutting-edge revolutionary medical technique developed by Dr. Joseph Jacobs, a medical practitioner, doctor of physical therapy, and advanced clinical nutritionist. ASTR is a biopsychosocial treatment model proven over 45 independent research studies to effectively treat chronic pain. ASTR addresses scar tissue, fascia restrictions, proper nutrition, inflammation, posture, body mechanics, ergonomics, lifestyle changes, and exercises.
He holds a doctorate of physical therapy degree from Dominican College in New York and a bachelor’s degree in hotel and restaurant management from Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey.
The ASTR, according to Dr. Jacobs, is a realization of his mission to help patients overcome their disability and pain using a gold standard self-treatment approach that has proven effective for all regardless of their body compositions. The suitability of ASTR for everyone, regardless of their experience, gives it a universal appeal and worldwide acceptance. “My vision is to have the ASTR brand as the gold standard approach for home self-treatment. I created this category—it takes time and a lot of intentional marketing to educate clients about a new category.”
Dr. Jacobs is leading a medical revolution by introducing simple treatment procedures that can be applied from anywhere without the supervision of a medical professional. “After my second cancer treatment, I used to suffer from chronic migraines, pain, and fatigue, and I could not find relief. That led me to research and invent ASTR treatment to overcome my disability, and I started to implement the same programs on my patients and noticed similar results.”
For Dr. Jacobs, the ASTR objective is contributing to the well-being of people suffering from chronic pain who may not necessarily possess the financial capacity to seek treatment in the hospital. ASTR thus is the surefire way to get rid of pain, faster and more effective than hospital procedures. “We create and package step-by-step online programs and easy-to-use tool kits for on-the-go patients who are ready to treat themselves from the comfort of their home. We also create and package high-quality programs and tool kits for providers who want to provide their patients with fast, long-term pain relief.”
Five years from now, Dr. Jacobs hopes ASTR would have reached a global level of acceptance. He hopes other scientists would be able to develop and advance the treatment of pain and tissue problems using alternative medicine.
