AN INTRODUCTION TO INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILISATION (2014) Ove Indergaard

Description

This ebook provides an introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM). It details the mechanical and neurophysiological effects of IASTM, assessment, treatment protocols, and specific soft tissue patterns (including the use of The EDGE tool). The text emphasizes that IASTM works primarily by stimulating the nervous system and altering movement thresholds, rather than relying on deep mechanical force to ‘break up’ scar tissue.
