Scraping therapy

IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation), sometimes called scraping therapy or Gua Sha, uses smooth-edged tools to work on soft tissue restrictions. It’s commonly used to support mobility, reduce tightness and aid recovery after strain, overuse or prolonged stiffness.

About the treatment

Soft tissue restrictions can build up over time due to repetitive strain, immobilisation, training load or previous injury. IASTM uses specialised tools to apply controlled pressure and mobilise the tissue, aiming to improve extensibility and movement quality. Treatment is tailored to your tolerance and goals and can be combined with stretching or mobility work for best results.

如何使用

We identify the restricted area and confirm suitability.

Controlled strokes are applied with a smooth tool to target restrictions.

We provide guidance on aftercare and mobility to maintain progress.
