FMT Blades Advanced IASTM Certification introduces the concept of mechanical gliding of skin, fascia and nerve. It also presents concepts of neuro-sensory pain modulation via Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. IASTM tools are designed to be used with very gentle applications of force, aggressive techniques with heavy pressure are no longer required. The anatomy, physiology and neurology of myofascial soft tissue is presented, along with a review of concepts of interlayer connective tissue gliding during normal human movement. Students will learn IASTM techniques using a rubber sleeve attachment for added tissue traction to treat gliding dysfunctions of skin, fascia and nerve. FMT Blades Advanced also introduces pain modulation techniques via use of an additional IASTM tool attachment, the neurosensory comb. This course is intended for performance professionals and therapists who have already attained a basic understanding of soft tissue techniques. Each participant will keep their soft tissue tool set after this course. EDUCATIONAL LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR FMT BLADES ADVANCED: After this course the participant will be able to: Define, understand and integrate the myofascial sequencing model. Discover and explore neuroanatomy of the dermal/fascial subsystem. Recognize and demonstrate skin/fascial glide screening process. Describe and interpret the current research on IASTM techniques in regard to connective tissue gliding and pain modulation. Discuss the clinical indications for use of silicone sleeve attachment vs comb attachment Practice, demonstrate and integrate advanced IASTM techniques using silicone sleeve and comb attachments when indicated. Practice and Integrate up and down regulation strokes for autonomic nervous system management. Analyze and critique common cutaneous nerve entrapments of the upper & lower extremity and trunk. Compare and contrast the rationale for providing dry fascial gliding strokes to reduce cutaneous FMT Blades Advanced IASTM Certification introduces the concept of mechanical gliding of skin, fascia and nerve.
