IASTM- Muscle Scraping Therapy

Description

IASTM is a technique that is a modified version of GuaSha. This newer, modern technique uses stainless steel tools that acts as an extension of your hand often used to treat muscular skeletal conditions by applying friction type techniques across the skin. The goal of IASTM is to break-up scar tissue and adhesions formed in and around muscles to bring inflammation to the area. The inflammation response helps the body absorb scar tissue and helps realign collagen fibres into correct form. Once muscle fibres are realigned, range of movement is increased and this helps transform your soft tissue injury into healthy functioning tissue once again. It is easily integrated with massage therapy to provide safe and effective soft tissue mobilization.
