Benefits of Scraping Therapy

IASTM at Atomic Physical Therapy

IASTM is a form of soft tissue therapy that uses specially designed instruments to help mobilize restricted tissues and break down adhesions in muscles and fascia. These tools allow our skilled practitioners to apply precise pressure to targeted areas, which stimulates a healing response in the body, promotes blood flow, and encourages tissue repair. Unlike traditional massage, IASTM offers a focused and effective approach that can reach deeper layers of tissue, providing relief from discomfort and enhancing range of motion.

  • Targeted Instrument-Assisted Techniques - our experienced therapists use IASTM tools to apply controlled pressure and scraping motions to targeted areas, promoting the breakdown of adhesions and fascial restrictions. These techniques are designed to enhance mobility, reduce pain, and stimulate your body’s natural healing processes.

  • Pain Relief and Improved Circulation - IASTM therapy is highly effective for alleviating pain by addressing deep-seated tension and adhesions within the soft tissues. By stimulating blood flow and reducing muscle stiffness, scraping treatments support faster healing and recovery.

  • Enhanced Mobility and Flexibility - restricted fascia and scar tissue can limit your range of motion, impacting athletic performance and daily activities. IASTM helps to loosen these restrictions, improving flexibility and allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.

  • Integration with Other Treatments - our IASTM treatments can be combined with other therapies, such as cupping, myofascial release, or physical therapy exercises, for a comprehensive approach to recovery and wellness. This integrative treatment strategy promotes longer-lasting results and overall improvements in movement.

  • Education and Aftercare for Sustainable Results - to support your progress, our therapists provide education on self-care techniques, such as stretching and mobility exercises. This guidance is designed to help you maintain the benefits of IASTM between sessions and prevent the recurrence of issues.

At Atomic Physical Therapy, our IASTM treatments are designed to provide deep relief and effective results, supporting you on your journey to optimal physical health and peak performance. Whether you’re dealing with a nagging injury, chronic pain, or simply looking to enhance your mobility, our scraping therapy can help you achieve lasting relief and improved function.
