The course is divided into twelve separate chapters. 

• Chapter 1: Foundation and why behind of IASTM
• Chapter 2: Research and effectiveness of IASTM
• Chapter 3:  Principles and benefits of IASTM
• Chapter 4: Physiologic and neurophysiologic responses of IASTM
• Chapter 5: Type of tools available
• Chapter 6: Type of strokes, application and use
• Chapter 7: Indications, precautions and contraindications with IASTM
• Chapter 8: Fascia, fascial chain and the fascial slings
• Chapter 9: Trigger points and adaptive shortening
• Chapter 10: Clinical Patterns of Movement Dysfunctions and using IASTM
• Chapter 11:  IASTM techniques for upper body including cervical, shoulder, thoracic and elbow regions
• Chapter 12: IASTM techniques for lower body including lumbar, hip, knee and ankle regions

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: 

• Interpret and list two sources on the foundation and origin of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) and the latest research as it applies clinically.
• Apply the fanning stroke with a patient who has active or latent trigger points in their upper trapezius muscle.
• Independently defend selection of one IASTM tool and treatment plan for a specified clinical condition.
• Correctly compare mechanical and physiologic responses of IASTM when provided with a case study.
• Explain three key differences between a fascial restriction and muscle tightness.
• Identify two indications and two contraindications of IASTM for an instructor named clinical condition.
• 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.
• Based on instructor specified example indicating evaluation findings, will accurately choose the IASTM technique to manage the condition.
• Compare the difference between the clinical patterns of spinal stenosis, spondylosis and lumbar radiculopathy in terms of each diagnoses behavior of symptoms, clinical findings, and common muscle imbalances.
• Compare an active trigger point vs. a latent trigger point for patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
• Justify the IASTM tool selected based on the presence of trigger points in a therapy evaluation.
• Design a plan of care, including the IASTM, for a patient diagnosed with either a rotator cuff repair, subacromial decompression, shoulder impingement or similar diagnoses.
