It serviced as the professional instrument for “strigil” in ancient Greece and Rome, “gua sha” in ancient China, “Graston/Scraping massage” when it’s first introduced to modern western world and “IASTM” (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) for latest academic research. Besides, it was also integrated as a necessary procedure into a variety of massage therapies, including myofascial massage, deep tissue massage, sport massage, aromatherapy massage, trigger point massage, reflexology, shiatsu massage and so on.

Relieve the muscle adhesion, fascial tension, fasciitis, fibrositis, chronic pain, discomfort, tightness, strain and fatigue (Please consult with your therapist first) 4. Relax the muscle 5.
