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.

Myofascial scraping, sometimes called IASTM, uses smooth stainless-steel tools to release fascial adhesions and improve tissue glide. We will tell you on visit one whether it is the right tool, or whether you need something else in the same office — or a referral.
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.
Why does it leave red marks?
The strokes bring blood to the surface (petechiae). It’s not bruising in the traditional sense and typically fades within a day or two.
