Level 1 IASTM technique course

🌟 Level 1 IASTM Technique Course 🌟

Course Overview:

What is IASTM? It's a revolutionary therapeutic approach used by healthcare professionals to locate and treat restrictions in soft tissue that are often too deep for fingers alone to reach. With the advent of portable tools, IASTM has become a valuable modality in the field of manual therapy.

Key Features of the Course:

• Understanding IASTM: Learn about the history and evolution of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). We'll explore how this technique complements the hands-on approach of chiropractors and other manual therapists.

• Graston Technique: Discover the leading IASTM method, which utilizes specific instrument edges to address different tissue depths. You'll learn from experts like Dr. Heller and Dr. McCathie.

• Material Selection: Find out why stainless steel is the preferred material for IASTM instruments, as highlighted by soft-tissue specialist Warren Hammer, DC, DABCO.

• IASTM Mechanics: Grasp the two primary functions of IASTM: breaking up unusual tissue densities like scar tissue and reinitiating the body's first stage of recovery. Understand the biological processes at play during treatment.

• Pain & Recovery: Acknowledge that IASTM can cause post-treatment discomfort and bruising as it reinjures tissues to stimulate healing, as explained by Dr. Hammer.

• Common Conditions Treated: Identify the types of injuries and conditions that respond best to IASTM, including chronic and acute back and extremity issues such as tendinopathies, Achilles tendinosis, rotator cuff injuries, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis.
