Event description
Description
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Gua Sha (7CE)
$100 for 7CE and you get to play with all the tools! I have one tool for you to take home.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the training attendees will be able to:
• Explain the science of IASTM and the anatomy, physiology and kinesiology of fascia
• Explain the history of Gua Sha and TCM and influence to IASTM
• Use many different tools for IASTM and Gua sha
• List the benefits and contraindications of IASTM
• Recite the research, evidence and effectiveness for IASTM and Gua sha
• Assess fibrotic tissue, colors of flesh, and sha
• Know how to choose the correct angle for the tools, with the appropriate amount of pressure
Teaching Objectives
Learners will be able to:
• Identify & discuss the effects, benefits, physiological responses, indications & contraindications, and principles relating to soft-tissue dysfunction
• Observe & then demonstrate proper handholds and treatment strokes using multiple IASTM tools
• Assess fascia and Sha by scanning and the press and blanch techniques
• Perform techniques for upper body
• Perform techniques for lower body
• Perform techniques for specific injuries and disorders
• Perform techniques for self-care
• Detect soft-tissue adhesions in both upper and lower body musculature
• Demonstrate treatment protocol for scars, edema
• Perform procedure to disinfect or sterilize tools
• Anticipate response and results from using instruments on the human neuro-myofascial system
Course Description:
Gua sha has been around for thousands of years, since before TCM, and has morphed into various kinds of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM); Such as, Graston Technique, popular among Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Professions. In this workshop you will be able to join the ranks of other healthcare professions as you learn the history, benefits, contraindications, and sanitation guidelines, as well as having the opportunity to use all the different types of tools in labs. You will learn how to assess fascia and soft tissue adhesions, and how to perform full-body IASTM techniques for use on your client’s painful areas, and for your own self-care.
Bring sheets, lubricant, drink/snack, and comfy clothes. I have tables on site.
