Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

Research: Movement and Corrective Exercise

The most comprehensive systematic research review ever performed on instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilizations (IASTM). The findings may surprise you. Is IASTM really better than massage, joint mobilizations, or foam rolling?

IASTM: Comprehensive Systematic Research Review

IASTM techniques for the lower leg (plantar and crural fascia). IASTM is related to Gua Sha, Graston, and "Muscle Scraping" techniques. Although petechiae has been the goal of conventional methodologies, modern practice includes IASTM as an adjunct mobility technique.  

IASTM: Crural and Plantar Fascia

Learn about Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), a skilled myofascial intervention adapted from GuaSha and popularized by Graston. This course focuses on IASTM techniques for treating the Fascia Lata (thigh).

IASTM: Fascia Lata

This course describes instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), with a focus on treatment of the posterior superficial layer of the TLF (summary of TLF anatomy below). Additionally, modifications of IASTM techniques are discussed, including specific techniques for addressing trigger points, different treatment positions used to increase tissue tension, and pin-and-stretch techniques with IASTM tools (a.k.a. active or dynamic release).
