What is IASTM Scrapping

Scrapping is a manual therapy technique used by healthcare professionals to address various musculoskeletal conditions. It involves the use of specialized tools to massage and manipulate soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

IASTM Scrapping can potentially help with a variety of injuries and conditions, including:

How IASTM Scrapping Happens

A trained therapist uses specially designed instruments made of metal or plastic to apply controlled pressure on the patient’s skin. These instruments have unique shapes and edges that allow for precise manipulation of soft tissues.

How IASTM Scrapping Helps

IASTM Scrapping is employed to treat a wide range of issues, including muscle tightness, scar tissue adhesions, fascial restrictions, and inflammation. It helps to improve tissue mobility, reduce pain, enhance circulation, and promote the body’s natural healing processes.

What Happens During the Treatment:

During an IASTM Scrapping session, the therapist will:
– Assess the patient’s condition and identify problem areas.
– Apply the instrument specifically, often in the direction of muscle fibers.
– Use different techniques, such as stroking, scraping, and cross-friction, to mobilize tissues.
– Adjust pressure and speed based on the patient’s comfort and needs.
– Monitor the patient’s response and adapt the treatment accordingly.

Benefits of IASTM Scrapping

Pain Relief: It can alleviate pain associated with muscle knots, trigger points, and injuries.
Improved Range of Motion: Helps increase flexibility and joint mobility.
Faster Recovery: Accelerates healing by breaking down scar tissue and promoting blood flow.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Often used by athletes to prevent injuries and improve athletic performance.

Eligibility for IASTM Scrapping Treatment

To determine if a client is eligible for IASTM Scrapping, the therapist typically follows these steps:
Initial Assessment:

The client undergoes an initial assessment, during which the therapist evaluates their condition, medical history, and treatment goals.

Diagnosis:

Based on the assessment, the therapist diagnoses whether IASTM Scrapping is an appropriate treatment option.

Informed Consent:

The therapist explains the treatment process, potential risks, and benefits to the client, and obtains informed consent (previously filled in the online intake form).

Treatment Plan:

If deemed suitable, the therapist develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to the client's needs.

PLEASE BE AWARE
While IASTM Scrapping can benefit many individuals with these conditions, the specific effectiveness may vary depending on the patient’s unique circumstances.
