Vibration Plate Therapy
Vibration Plate Therapy: What It Is
Scraping therapy, also known as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), is a hands-on technique that uses specially designed tools to target muscles, fascia, and connective tissue. It helps identify and treat areas of tightness, adhesions, and soft tissue restrictions that can contribute to pain or limited mobility.
How Vibration Plate Therapy Works
During treatment, controlled pressure is applied with ergonomic instruments to the skin and underlying tissues. This stimulates blood flow, promotes tissue healing, and restores proper movement between muscle and fascia layers. Scraping therapy can also complement other treatments like chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercises to optimize function.
Benefits of Vibration Plate Therapy
Scraping therapy can help reduce muscle tightness, improve range of motion, and speed recovery after activity or injury. Patients may also experience decreased discomfort, improved flexibility, enhanced movement efficiency, and better overall musculoskeletal function.
