How it works
Inside a myofascial scraping session.
Warm the tissue
A brief warm-up with heat or light manual work primes the fascia for treatment.
Apply emollient
A small amount of skin-safe emollient lets the tool glide smoothly across the area.
Scan and treat
We use the tool to scan for ‘gritty’ restrictions and then treat them with controlled strokes.
Pair with movement
You move the joint through range while we treat, and we finish with mobility drills to lock in change.

Is it painful?
Firm but tolerable. You control the pressure with our guidance. If it’s sharp, we back off, that’s not the goal.

The strokes bring blood to the surface (petechiae). It’s not bruising in the traditional sense and typically fades within a day or two.
