As a health professional, your education and training directly impact the quality of care you provide to your patients. In the realm of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) techniques, choosing the right educational pathway is crucial for mastering these modalities and delivering optimal outcomes. HawkGrips is the best choice, offering unmatched expertise, flexible learning options, and an industry-leading curriculum, as well as plenty of perks exclusively for HawkGrips-Certified Practitioners.

These industry leaders not only bring unparalleled credibility, but also excel in creating engaging and enjoyable learning environments. HawkGrips Instructors ensure you will receive high-quality instruction that is continuously updated with the latest research and best practices.
Instructors like Dr. Jim Wagner, OTD, OTR/L, CHT, COMT, CSCS, have been utilizing IASTM for more than 20 years and teaching the techniques for HawkGrips since its start in the early 2010s.
"Jim was great! Easy to understand, and he was very knowledgeable. I learned so much about IASTM and cannot wait to use it in the clinic. Absolutely amazing course! I highly recommend it," says Hunt Nagy, PT, a satisfied course attendee.
Evie Rosen echoes the sentiment, stating, "I have never participated in a course with as great of instruction and with a solid amount of hands-on time. This course left me feeling much more confident and excited about implementing the use of IASTM."
HawkGrips Instructors are at the forefront of evolving IASTM education by actively engaging with the latest research. Dr. Scott Cheatham, PT, Ph.D., DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS, a frequent HawkGrips Instructor, has numerous published works on IASTM, like this one in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, and is actively working to fill the current research gaps.
Multiple Learning Options
HawkGrips offers multip
le learning options, catering to various preferences and schedules. Choose from virtual or in-person courses, including Level 1 and Level 2 IASTM training as well as Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) courses. This flexibility allows you to learn at your own pace in the format that best suits your needs.
By the end of the IASTM training, you will be able to tailor your
approach, optimize strokes, and seamlessly integrate IASTM skills into your treatment regimen, boosting efficacy and patient satisfaction. Similarly, the BFR training equips you with the knowledge and skills to safely and effectively implement blood flow restriction into your treatment planning and confidently explain the benefits to your patients.
For academic institutions, HawkGrips offers a comprehensive university program that allows you to integrate our IASTM training into your existing curriculum. As Professor Aric Warren, PhD, LAT, ATC, attests, "IASTM techniques are rapidly receiving much attention and are now a common modality in the treatment of both chronic and acute injuries. I have been an instructor for HawkGrips for several years and have helped hundreds of 
clinicians improve their skills and patient care delivery. Why wouldn’t we expect the same from the future healthcare professionals we are developing? Why wouldn’t we want to equip them with a powerful tool to enter the workforce and make an immediate impact on how their patients feel? This is why we have adopted the University Program for IASTM at the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences; to develop clinical leaders and make a difference in patient care.”
In addition to thorough IASTM and BFR training, HawkGrips provides a wealth of on-demand resources to enhance your skills. You can explore cupping, taping, and other therapies through the extensive online library.

Several practitioners have noted significant improvements in their practice after attending HawkGrips courses. Without proper training, using IASTM tools can lead to less effective treatments or even patient discomfort.
