Canine IASTM - coming soon!

​Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization uses a surgical steel bevelled edge blade to treat myofascial restrictions and adhesions, pain, inflammation and injuries.  Tissues warm quickly with the scraping movement and can target areas that can’t be reached with finger, elbows or knuckles.  IASTM is efficient and effective, and non-invasive.  The goal of IASTM is to create an environment in the body for optimal healing in a very short time (5 minutes) to increase mobility and decrease pain. Appointments are 10-20 minutes in length. 3-4 days rest between appointments is recommended, however, light therapy can be used in between sessions.
