Graston I ASTM (Gua Sha)
Also known as IASTM (Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization) Gua
sha is the practice of using a tool to apply pressure and scrape the skin to relieve pain and tension. Physiotherapists may use IASTM on the connective tissue that is not working to move joints as it should. This problem may be due to a repetitive strain injury or another condition. Gua sha is used alongside other treatments, such as stretching and strengthening exercises.
Dynamic Cupping Therapy
Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may
relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
