The tool effectively breaks down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. Fascia is the connective tissue that is all over your body. The tool allows the therapist to locate damaged areas and treat the area effectively with the right amount of pressure.
The introduction of controlled small tissue damage with the tool to the affected soft tissues, causes a mild inflammatory response and starts the natural process of healing. Adhesions (scar tissue) which may have developed as a result of surgery, immobilization, repeated strain or other mechanisms, are broken down allowing full restoration to occur.
Treatment can include myofascial release, thai massage, acupuncture/ electro-acupuncture, therapeutic ultrasound and taping, IFC, joint mobilization, home exercise and cupping therapy.
