The term IASTM or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation is commonly paired with the image of steel tools and deep tissue work that can cause redness and bruising on the skin. Current evidence informs us that IASTM techniques dont need to be aggressive to deliver superior patient outcomes, the tools may be hard, but the techniques are soft. There are many forms of instruments or tools that can assist a clinician or coachs skills and tools really do save your hands! You dont have to buy an expensive set of tools and attend a class that locks you into one way of utilizing IASTM on your patients or athletes.
