Internationally Recognized Certification Workshop
Our "touch" can never be replaced, although there are other instruments and techniques that broaden our sensitivities without causing pain or bruising. This 2 Day 16 hour evidence-based Certification Workshop will extend the life of your hands, your career, prevent overuse injuries and grow your patient base.
Instrumented Soft Tissue Mobilization, ISTM, is an effective technique of fascial tissue mobilization releasing collagenous restrictions in contractile and non-contractile tissues. Collagenous restrictions, “scar tissue”, inhibit motion, create pain, limit strength, impede function and performance. Instrumented Soft Tissue Mobilization ISTM utilizes tools of metal, plastic, jade with various bevels and curvatures to detect and release scar tissue. Utilizing non-porous solid instruments compared with casted or forged stainless steel prevent the transmission of bacteria from patient to patient as well as a vibrational effect for a more complete collagenous release. Asymmetric perimetered treatment edges fit a greater number of body parts and treatment applications at any angle. Specifically defined treatment edges require applications of less pressure preventing patient soreness / bruising as well as preventing discomfort in the hands of the practitioner.
Join our practical evidence-based "hands on" certification workshop "ISTM Fascia to Function" and learn which features, bevels, angle of application meet your patient's needs while releasing collagenous scar tissue in multiple planes of motion.
Course Objectives:
• Summarize the effects of soft tissue restrictions through various muscle loading techniques in multi- planar movement patterns.
• Identify indications, contraindications and precautions when using ISTM.
• Prepare the patient and the DRT Instruments for evaluation and treatment.
• Learn and Apply various techniques of ISTM using changing Instrument angles, locations, movement, load. pressure, and positioning of the patient/clinician.
• Feel the difference between Manual Evaluations - Treatments and Fascia Dynamic Release.
• Apply 3 Dimensional applications of DRT to specific regions of the body.
• Describe and Quantify the changes in soft tissue improving multi-plane motion, stability & strength.
• Realize & Apply the Fundamentals of Dynamic Release Therapy.
