PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING REGARDING THE VIRTUAL FORMAT

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING REGARDING THE VIRTUAL FORMAT:

This is a LAB-based and interactive course. It is strongly recommended (but not required) to have access to the following:

1. (For IASTM) At least one IASTM tool and a partner / "patient" to practice on.

2. (For BFR) BFR equipment.  BFR application / practice can be performed on a partner or yourself.

Our in-person and virtual courses cover the same information, course objectives, and have the same certification exams.  For virtual, the live (zoom) portion has a condensed schedule.

Email education@hawkgrips.com with questions.

This 1-hour introductory course is designed to give an overview of the research and basis for instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). This is a home-study course and therefore does not teach clinicians how to perform IASTM, but instead review the relevant physiology and most current evidence on the theories behind IASTM as well as the key fundamentals of the technique. Clinicians should always perform treatments within their clinical scope.

Video 1 (PowerPoint Recording): 50 minutes

Video 2 (Treatment demonstration): 9 min
