Description

Course Title: IASTM™ - Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation – Master Certification

Study Material: This course was designed to be systematic, evidenced-based and most importantly, have direct application that can be used immediately with your patients. The course material nicely compliments a one or two-day live seminar on IASTM offered by other CEU providers. In 2018, it is our intent to also offer both a one-day and two-day IASTM live seminar courses that will compliment the home study course. It will provide the attendee with the ability to gain and understand new knowledge on IASTM, learn how to assess more efficiently and practice the skills learned from the home study course.  The course comes with the following:

A 150 page comprehensive CEU approved course manual that has over 240 references is divided into twelve distinct and separate chapters. The course is filled with over 100+ illustrations and graphics to enhance the learning experience. Deliver is sent electronically from PTCS to the customer or a physical manual can be shipped at an additional fee.

The student will have access to over 70 videos that compliment and review each of the twelve chapters of the IASTM Home Study Course. To access these videos, each student is required to provide a sign in on our secure website.

All examination costs are included. To earn respective CEUs, a student must sign in on our secure website verifying to PTCS who they are. Once verified, PTCS requires every student to take an online 25 question multiple-choice examination. This examination can be taken anytime or are your leisure. Once the examination is complete and the student earns a score of 75%, the CEU certificate is sent directly to the student from PTCS.

Course Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

- Understand the foundation and origin of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and the latest research as it applies clinically.

- Understand the principles and benefits of IASTM and be able to apply this new knowledge with their patients in the clinic setting the next day.

- Differentiate between the different types of IASTM tools available. Explain the rationale behind IASTM by comparing mechanical vs. neurological responses using the most current research.

- Explain the rationale behind IASTM by comparing mechanical vs. neurological responses using the most current research.

-Understand what fascia is, how to identify common fascial restrictions using the IASTM and latest research.

- Identify when IASTM is indicated and contraindicated. Understand, learn several different types of strokes using IASTM tools and be able to practice and apply them with appropriate patients.

- Apply and use IASTM with common movement dysfunctions affecting the cervical spine, thoracic region, lumbar spine, hip, knee and ankle. Then be able to apply the IASTM concept with each of these dysfunctions in a safe and justified manner based on their clinical reasoning skillset.

- Demonstrate competent rationale for IASTM treatment progressions by combining clear assessments with an evidenced based practice (EBP) approach to care
