Lesson Plan

Incorporating Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization in Treatment and Recovery

Rehab professionals have utilized Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) for years as a treatment modality to provide novel sensory input, reduce pain and improve mobility.  While active movements are the gold standard in musculoskeletal patient care, improving soft tissue mobility with IASTM can help patients progress in their rehabilitation more efficiently.

After rehabilitation,  IASTM can be a powerful tool for athletic recovery. Improving superficial circulation, stimulating a neurophysiological response, and reducing tissue soreness can help athletes recover from their workout or sport quickly and safely.  In this 1-hour webinar, we’ll discuss some of the best practices for using IASTM in the clinic and how to incorporate it into an athletic recovery program easily.

Learning Objectives

  • Differentiate between potential mechanical and neurophysiological effects of IASTM.
  • Implement IASTM as a part of the rehabilitation plan.
  • Design an appropriate recovery plan for post-workout or athletic events.

VERKTYG USA – IASTM TOOL

Established in 2017, Darren, Rick and Cass decided the world needed a cool-looking IASTM tool that was functional, easy to use, and cost effective! Verktyg flagship “Swede” and “Mini-Swede” are modeled after a Swedish butter knife, which is pretty flipping fabulous.  Each tool is mirror polished to perfection and crafted from super high-quality 316 Stainless Steel.  Each tool has slick packaging and comes with a bright blue and yellow microfiber bag that you can wipe the tool down with after cleaning it
