Muscle Scraping & IASTM in Liverpool
Targeted Muscle Scraping for Tightness & Movement
At My Massage Therapist, we provide muscle scraping and IASTM in Liverpool, NSW, as part of targeted massage treatment.
IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation) uses specialised tools to apply controlled pressure to specific areas of the body. It can be incorporated into treatment when appropriate to help address areas of muscular tension, tightness and movement restriction.
Muscle scraping is not a standalone treatment. We use it alongside other hands-on techniques based on your individual presentation.
IASTM may be used as part of treatment for:
Muscle tightness and tension
Movement restrictions
Training-related discomfort
Areas of overuse
Reduced mobility
Persistent areas of muscular tension
Treatment may be particularly useful for people who train regularly, including CrossFit athletes, lifters, gym-goers and other active people.
The technique and areas treated will depend on your symptoms, movement and treatment goals.
