What Is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) along with Massage Cupping?

These two modalities together will entail first using stainless steel tools (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization) to remove adhesions and increase circulation to areas of tightness and tension. Secondly, cupping therapy is used to further separate adhered tissues, which will result in an increased range of motion and better, more fluid movement. Finally, the newly gained ROM will be cemented by learning simple functional movements. The best way to keep pain and tension from returning is by correcting faulty, habitual movement patterns. Benefits include increased range of motion and mobility, decreased pain, reduction in scar tissue and improved posture.
