Explore the history, principles, and practical application of iastm tools, including safety, indications, precautions, lubrication, gua-sha and Graston techniques for upper and lower body.
Explore evidence on the effectiveness of IASTM tools from a 2009 MCL mouse study to a 2019 systematic review of motion, pain, strength, and function.
IASTM enables deeper tissue targeting with less force, triggers controlled microtrauma to accelerate healing, and improves mobility, range of motion, function, and balance through mechanical and neurophysiological effects.
Execute an IASTM session on cervical and scapular muscles, assess cervical muscles and weights, warm up with a concave edge, switch to a convex surface, finish with a lymphatic cooldown.
Apply forearm and wrist IASTM techniques using superficial concave and fanning strokes to treat tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel, and trigger finger, with assessment, mobilization, and cooldown.

It is an ENGLISH illustrated course presented to all physiotherapists discussing "IASTM" Instrument Assisted soft tissue mobilization
This course was designed to be evidenced-based "Based on researches done with the tool" ,showing principles and benefits of the tool, Physiologic, Neurophysiologic, Mechanical effects of Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization tools and because safety matters, Therapist should know about its Indications, precautions and contraindications this is for the theoretical part, as for practical part: "45 minutes of practical application on different body regions". It will provide the therapist with the ability to gain and understand new knowledge on Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization tools, learn how to assess with the tool and practice the skills learned from the home study course.
