IASTM Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
IASTM is a fancy term referring to the Chinese scraping healing modality. It’s been around for a long time but now with better tools and results.
Gua Sha
Generally performed with light composite plastic tools that are used in a manner that pull toxins out of the muscle and lay down healthier collagen fibers.
- Tendons. Alleviates that snapping sound when the joint is moved, restores functionality.
- Soft Tissue Pull out all the waste products.
- Massage Follow with massage for a better result.
Cupping
Cupping can include back and forth motions, or quickly flash cupping by just attaching and removing the cups. This pulls out the toxins and cleans the muscle tissue. I am also trained in Sports Cupping where I add dynamic movement with the cups attached. It releases the fascIa along the area cupped. I sell RockPods which I can show you how to use at home and keeps your self care going.
- Soft Tissue. Loosen and improve muscle tissue
- Combine With active movements and increases ROM.
- IASTM Gua Sha
