Archive : IASTM Practitioner Certification from Dr. Shante Cofield

Have you been wondering how instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) techniques could be used in your practice?

You might’ve heard the term “IASTM” and associated it with rough techniques, overwhelming training or expensive tools. In the past, that may have been true. But we’ve partnered with the experts at RockTape to create a brand-new training program to change all that — the IASTM Practitioner Certification.

With over 7 years of experience, Dr. Shante Cofield (aka The Movement Maestro) will walk you step-by-step through how to use the IASTM tool, so you’ll feel confident using it on clients who suffer from any number of conditions in the upper and lower body, including clients with conditions like:

• Tennis Elbow
• Shin Splints
• Patellofemoral Disorders

• Lingering Scar Tissue
• Fibromyalgia
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Lumbar Sprain/Strain
• Rotator cuff dysfunction
• and so many others!

Then this training is for you. Help your client heal by using tools that connect both neurologically and mechanically, treating the whole body.

RockTape has brought movement and pain solutions to over 50,000 professionals worldwide — and when all your clients are looking for is relief, it’s nice to know you’re trained by the best!

Plus, when you enroll in this offer today, you’ll also get an exclusive discount on your own set of IASTM tools — a set of specially designed RockBlades!

IASTM isn’t just training… It’s a revolution in the rehab world! When you use an IASTM tool it becomes an extension of you — the techniques decrease overall time of treatment, facilitate faster recovery and so much more.

Why Use IASTM?

IASTM isn’t just another treatment — these precision instruments make it easier for you to detect and treat fascial dysfunction, triggering an inflammatory healing response in the body.

These powerful tools also assist in reducing adhesions and increase healing rates of targeted tissue by giving you a more pinpointed method of treatment. While the training increases your skillset, the tools become an extension of you, diving deep into the soft tissue of your client’s body.

With the proper training, these tools are incomparably useful. The structure of each edge, the nodules, and the hand grip make this the ultimate tool in instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization.

This hands-on certification program gives you the skills you need to begin using IASTM with clients across the continuum of care — without spending thousands on equipment. This training will show you in-depth case studies and prepare you with problem-solving skills you can use immediately in your very next session.
