Level I:
- Review the current science behind the myofascial system and myofascial dysfunction
- Understand the anatomy of different IASTM instruments and IASTM treatment considerations
- Recognize common IASTM treatment variables and techniques
- Demonstrate preferred IASTM treatment strokes and the use of different instruments for specific body regions
Level II:
- Given the specific case studies presented in class, choose appropriate IASTM treatments for movement dysfunctions resulting from but not limited to hyper or hypo-facilitated muscle tissue, fascia restrictions, joint stiffness, scar adhesions, and pain limited movement loss
- Given the specific case studies presented in class, choose appropriate basic treatment IASTM strokes for the body region and nature of the soft tissue restriction
- Given the specific case studies presented in class, choose appropriate advanced treatment IASTM strokes for the body region and nature of the soft tissue restriction
- Differentiate between normal and abnormal soft tissue of the extremities and trunk using IASTM tools with motion based on patient response, tissue feel, and resonance of the IASTM tool through assessment scanning strokes based on 3 models
- Given the specific case studies presented in class, integrate IASTM intervention with motion into the overall treatment program
