The Ergon IASTM treatment of the lateral line is more effective in increasing the hip adduction ROM compared to foam rolling and stretching, irrespective of the application site. Further, the application of IASTM techniques to remote parts of the lateral myofascial line may be as effective as a local application in terms of improving flexibility. We create exceptional quality, affordably priced, versatile IASTM tools. Tissue Tools' instruments are designed in Canada and precision milled from surgical grade stainless steel. Our tools are engineered to meet the needs of today's demanding manual therapy providers. They offer a well priced alternative to other IASTM instruments, allowing DESCRIPTION. IASTM is a skilled myofascial intervention thought to be based upon the rationale by James Cyriax. 1,2 Unlike the Cyriax approach utilizing digital cross friction, IASTM is applied using specially designed instruments to provide a soft-tissue massage or mobilization. 2 The use of the instrument is thought to provide a mechanical advantage for the clinician by allowing deeper [11] IASTM have a neurophysiological effect as it stimulates mechanosensitive neurons through skin deformation by the instrument. 2019 Apr;63(1):18. Gehlsen, Ph.D. Sue A. When IASTM is applied to goes through 6 steps Examination Warm-up, warm-up is done for 10-15 mins by light jogging, elliptical machine, stationary bike or an upper body Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) Routine visit documentation portrays the progress, or lack thereof, of a patient under care. Certain elements are required for proper documentation of the clinical appropriateness of care. Additional elements represent the medical necessity of care and depict its worthiness for third-party reimbursement. 4/4/2019 2 Immobilization & Trauma to Connective Tissue Benefits of Graston Technique® Movement - collagen synthesis = degradation - Activates fibroblasts & myofibroblasts Facilitates GAG production Restores gliding between layers of tissue 1 The basics To start using your tablet, follow these instructions: NOTE: For basic operating instructions, see the printed Quick Start guide included in the box with your tablet. 1. Connect the micro USB cable to the tablet and to the adapter, and then connect the adapter to a IASTM is a treatment technique that is used to help decrease certain types of pain and to help restore movement/mobility within the tissues being treated. These changes occur through improving blood flow within the area while helping certain tissues to remodel and align in more ideal ways. The end result can be faster healing time, healthier Performance Lab - IASTM Research • Gehlsen GM, Ganion LR, Helfst RH. Fibroblast responses to variation in soft tissue mobilization pressure.

The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of a patient with AWS and thoracic rotation dysfunction using an impairment-based approach that includes instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), thoracic IASTM has also shown to produce positive results in a shorter period of time when compared to manual friction massage (Hammer, 2008; Hayes et al., 2007).
