Massage Knife for Muscle Pain Relief – Polished Stainless Steel with Case - Professional Muscle Scraper for Gua Sha Myofascial Release Scraping Massage Physical Therapy and IASTM -T2-

What’s the massage knife and its therapy? Its history can be traced back to thousands of years ago. 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. How does it work? It applies shear force to the muscle/scar tissues. It minimizes the practitioner’s effort while maximizing the force to stimulate the muscle. It pulls, stretches and releases the specific muscle, which: ? Increase blood and nutrients to the muscle ? Accelerate body metabolism ? Relieve the muscle adhesion, fascial tension, fasciitis, fibrositis, chronic pain, discomfort, tightness, strain and fatigue (Please consult with your therapist first) ? Relax the muscle ? Improve the soft tissue’s performance, flexibility and elasticity ? Relieve neurologic restriction ? Shorten the rehabilitation period.
