IASTM / Muscle Scraping
IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), commonly known as muscle scraping, is a targeted soft tissue technique that uses specialized instruments to stimulate healing and restore normal tissue function. This treatment helps reduce pain, improve range of motion, and enhance athletic performance. The ergonomically designed instruments augment manual therapy by breaking down musculoskeletal adhesions, improving tissue mobility, enhancing muscle activation, and decreasing painful movement—promoting a faster and more efficient return to activity.

Pathologies Improved Using IASTM:
- Scar tissue adhesions
- Muscle Strains
- Ankle Sprains
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Tendoopathies
- Runner’s Knee
- Jumper’s Knee
- Tennis Elbow
- Golfer’s Elbow
