Why IASTM Therapy?

   Tools... they are a quarter of the solution, just having access to the right tools for the right circumstance. IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) offers a variety of benefits to tackling fascia. Here at Body Epiphanies Massage & Nutrition LLC we do not make assumptions that soft or hard modalities strictly are meant to address all issues. We have seen both styles offer incredible benefit depending on the circumstance. Listed below are a variety of reasons we might want to apply IASTM therapy for a client. These therapies are best reserved for those who find a 'It hurt's so good' approach to be of benefit to their challenges.

Clinical Application

Scar Tissue Mobilization
Auto Injury Cases
Post Surgical Cases
Athletic Performance
​Improve ROM of Joints
Improve Tissue-Specific Hormesis 
Fascial adhesion removal via IASTM by mechanical manipulation and sheer to address fascial abnormalities to improve tissue health.
Manual therapy technique IASTM and how to approach the thoracolumbar fascia to improve ROM to lead to better quality of life.

Therapeutic Techniques

Quad Release

Great for cyclist and anyone experiencing some lower back or hip dysfunction.

Calf Release

Great for runners and anyone whose tension pattern is coming from calf.

Upper Trap Release

Great for neck issues to release the back to improve upper-crossed sybdrome.
   The notion that hard techniques like this work for everyone is erroneous. Having said that this is one of the more profound therapies for stubborn conditions and for improving ROM for athletic performance at bare minimum in the short-term. And at the upper echelon for a longer-term improvement in tissue health. It is up to the therapist-client relationship and the incrementalism via application of said therapy. These tools offer such a specific tactical advantage in many cases in which no other tactics can address to the same level of efficacy. It does leave patterning on the skin, so if bruises are of concern than this therapy is NOT for you.
