Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy

Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy techniques, such as cupping, Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT), or Graston, utilize specialized tools to break down scar tissue and release fascial restrictions. These methods are highly effective in managing pain and improving mobility by targeting areas of tension and restriction.

How it works

Using these tools, practitioners can:

identify areas of tension: tools allow for precise detection of tightness and adhesions in the soft tissue
release tension effectively: treat targeted areas for quick and lasting relief

The Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT)

FAT tools are unique in their ability to treat many different musculoskeletal conditions without causing bruising. These tools gently loosen tight fascial tissues and restore mobility without the discomfort associated with some other soft tissue techniques.

Cupping therapy

Cupping is an ancient therapeutic technique that uses suction cups to create negative pressure on the skin. This process helps to lift and separate the fascial layers, improving blood flow and promoting the release of tension in the underlying tissues. By reducing stagnation and encouraging circulation, cupping aids in alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and enhancing mobility. It is particularly effective for muscle recovery, relaxation, and managing conditions such as back pain, neck stiffness, and athletic injuries. With its ability to target deep-seated issues without invasive methods, cupping provides a gentle yet powerful approach to supporting overall wellness.
