How to use FASCIQ® IASTM tools for manipulating the fascia on the posterior leg

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) involves several soft tissue mobilization techniques. The IASTM tools are designed to pinpoint and treat myofascial restrictions for the amelioration or total elimination of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). By increasing the elasticity and mobility of the fascia we enhance the body's self-healing process. IASTM has been successful in the complex treatment of myofascial pain.

In this video, the therapist uses the FASCIQ® Grip tool to manipulate the fascia on the posterior leg. A robust IASTM instrument with a classic handle, easy to handle. On the one hand, the FASCIQ® Grip IASTM Tool has a slightly textured end. The patient is lying ventral position, and the therapist slides with the tool in the caudal direction, while passively performing the dorsiflexion movement of the foot. The concave part of the instrument is used by the therapist to slide on the soft tissue. The ergonomic shape of the FASCIQ® Grip avoids prominent areas such as the lateral maleola. The role of IASTM in this case is to increase the mobility of the fascial tissue and is part of the complex treatment of the lower limb.

IASTM tools stimulate:
• A healthy, flexible and well-maintained fascial network
• Improved tissue perfusion.
• Improved range of motion.
• Soft tissue mobilization.
• Destination of adhesions in the connective tissue.
• Treatment of Trigger Points

We highly recommend using the FASCIQ®wax in conjunction with the use of the IASTM tools. Its special formula ensures that the skin is properly prepared, allowing the tools to move easily over the skin and to create a more favorable experience to the patient. The FASCIQ® formulated wax contains almond oil and beeswax, which makes it a nourishing product, moisturizing the skin during the treatment process.
