This course will teach participants about our IASTM and its application on patients. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation or simply IASTM is a new range of tools which enables clinicians to efficiently locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction. IASTM is performed with ergonomically designed instruments that detect and treat fascial restrictions, encourage rapid localisation and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, or degeneration.
With any manual therapy treatment, supplementation exercises and additional modalities (e.g. joint mobilisation) designed to correct bio-mechanical deficiencies by addressing musculoskeletal strength and muscle imbalances throughout the entire kinetic chain, should be used in conjunction with IASTM. If you do any type of soft tissue work in your practice or you are interested in adding a new tool to your skills, then this IASTM clinic is for you.
Course aims
This course is specifically designed for anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of soft tissue manipulation and how to integrate these into your current practice and repertoire of skills. It will help participants learn how to best assess their patients to maximise treatments. You will learn many evidence based techniques to help treat, release and accelerate the healing time for your patients, clients and athletes. It will also enable you to select the most practical tool for your applications. You do not even have to purchase our tools in order to learn the different techniques used with other types of IASTM, the techniques we teach are very versatile.
