Introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM)

This 2-day hands on intensive seminar will help you learn a clinical and anatomical approach to myofascial release. You will learn what fascia is, the function of fascia, active and latent trigger points, and common referral pain patterns. Considerable lab time will allow you to observe and practice the most effective clinical techniques for the cervical/ thoracic/lumbar spine, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle. Heavy emphasis will be place on Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) to include precautions, contraindications, and effective techniques/strokes for the upper and lower body designed to complement your manual toolbox while preserving hand strength and avoiding chronic and repetitive injuries. At the conclusion of this seminar, you will feel refreshed with a new arsenal of information and skills that you can apply immediately the next day with your patients. This course will provide the participant with the knowledge and skills necessary to immediately apply these techniques in the clinic environment.

    Low back pain is a significant contributor to disability worldwide and is one of the most common conditions for which patients seek care. Treatment approaches can often be confusing due to dogmatic classification systems, which can be overly complicated and difficult to apply in a clinically meaningful way. However, patients with regional disorders often present with similar clinical presentations. These clinical presentations can often guide clinicians towards the best treatment options.

    This course is designed to be eclectic in its delivery to best suit the needs the busy clinician. Treatment approaches are organized based on categories that are consistent with how patients that report low back pain are likely to present. Patients presenting with chronic low back pain, referred leg pain, SI dysfunction or even stenosis will often respond to similar treatment approaches. This course will provide treatment options in a multimodal context that are grouped to address the most common clinical presentations. Finally, treatment approaches are organized in a logical way providing examples of how the treatments could be integrated.

      Neck pain leads to significant disability and limits functional abilities for patients at all levels. Treatment approaches can often be confusing due to dogmatic classification systems, which can be overly complicated and difficult to apply in a clinically meaningful way.

Treatment approaches are organized based on categories that are consistent with how patients that report neck pain are likely to present. Clinical presentations such as chronic neck pain, radiculopathy, traumatic onset, asymmetric movements, headache or myofascial pain are common in clinical practice. This course will provide treatment options in a multimodal context that are grouped to address the most common clinical presentations. Finally, treatment approaches are organized in a logical way providing examples of how the treatments could be integrated.
