Earn 16 Primary Credits with CMMOTA
Take your therapeutic massage practice to the next level with our IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) Muscle Scraping Course — a hands-on, evidence-informed training designed specifically for massage professionals. In this course you’ll learn how to assess soft tissue restrictions, improve mobility, release adhesions, feel the tissue under a new tool and support tissue healing using proper biomechanics and clinical protocols.
What sets this training apart is the opportunity to try a variety of IASTM tools — from different shapes to multiple brands — so you can discover which tools work best in your hands and deliver the best outcomes for your clients and your budget. Whether you’re new to muscle scraping or expanding your manual therapy toolkit, this course gives you the confidence and competence to integrate IASTM into your treatments immediately.
