Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM)

While this can look aggressive it’s actually fairly gentle and painless. The therapist will position your body in a way that lengthens the muscle they will be working on for maximum benefits. This is suitable for both pain and injury management and prevention.

The tool used is flat with soft edges. It is not designed to cut the skin contrary to the regularly used term ‘scraping’. This treatment is often used before cupping as they work well together with the removal of stagnated blood and fresh blood flow.
