- Apply the fanning stroke with a patient who has active or latent trigger points in their upper trapezius muscle.
- Defend the selection of one IASTM tool and treatment plan for a specified clinical condition.
- 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.
