Muscle Scraping

IASTM focal massage

What is IASTM?

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a modern evolution of traditional manual therapy techniques, designed to effectively identify and treat soft tissue dysfunctions. It utilizes specially designed tools, often made of stainless steel, to gently massage and manipulate the skin, muscles, and tendons.

What are the Benefits of Muscle Scraping?

 Primarily, muscle scraping enhances recovery by breaking down scar tissue and fascial (connective tissue) restrictions, thus improving the range of motion and reducing pain. This technique boosts circulation, facilitating the body’s natural healing process and promoting quicker recovery from injuries. IASTM also targets chronic inflammation by stimulating the production of cells responsible for tissue repair. For athletes and individuals with active lifestyles, it offers the advantage of maintaining and improving flexibility and physical performance. Furthermore, by addressing soft tissue dysfunctions, IASTM contributes to overall wellness and helps prevent future injuries. Its non-invasive nature and ability to yield significant results with minimal discomfort make it an increasingly popular choice for pain management and rehabilitation.
