@The_OMPT haven't incorporated enough #iastmto contralateral lower extremity for asymptomatic guys. Good thought may help performance

@debinnl @mikereinold I start in relaxed position and if needed progress to more loaded functional position #IASTM

@debinnl could be either, this can change depth and tissue target. We cover this inIASTMtechnique.com #IASTM

@mikereinold @The_OMPT definitely great results on forearm, esp w movement, tack and stretch style through forearm #IASTM

Show Conversation

debinnl9:51pm via Mobile Web (M5)

When using #IASTM, should tissue being treated be in a relatively relaxed position or more toward a stretched position?

The_OMPT9:49pm via Web

@PatPDiddy @mikereinold plus thoracic patterns based on quick SFMA or regional interdependence assessment #IASTM

Show Conversation

The_OMPT9:47pm via Web

@mikereinold agreed! #IASTM is an adjunct and should not be used in isolation, like any technique or corrective

If you are just performing #IASTM in isolation, w/o other manual tech or exercise, you are missing the boat.

@The_OMPT @pjmuil just silly marketing.#IASTM is a small, but powerful, tool in our set of manual therapy skills.

Show Conversation

The_OMPT9:45pm via Web

my main use of #IASTM is to improve quantity/quality of motion, so ANY HEP will be more comfortable, thus impr compliance = less visits

The_OMPT9:44pm via Web

@pjmuil it's not, perhaps @mikereinold will come out with our own cert for similar reasons #IASTM

@mnhopper1s @mikereinold neurophysiologic reasons to use #IASTM, graston is WAY too aggressive, bruising and "breaking up" tissue not needed
