IAT® Mini Course: IASTM Theory & Concepts for Therapists.
Master IASTM Theories and Concepts.
This online seminar bridges the gap between tool basics and advanced practice, focusing on soft tissue dysfunction theories, treatment application concepts, clinical information, tools, the 4x4 matrix, IAT® techniques, and specific conditions.
Ideal for manual therapists building toward advanced certification—currently in "mini" format with future expansions for technique videos and testing. "The success of IAT® is due to knowledge and skill, not simply the substitution of a tool instead of your hands."
Why Take the IAT® Mini Course?
As discussed in previous seminars, IASTM is an umbrella term covering many tools and techniques—IAT® is a specialized system for treating pain, injury, massage, mobilization, or improving motion. This Mini Course concentrates on theories, concepts, and techniques for pain and injury, emphasizing clear clinical thinking and medical knowledge for safe, effective use.
It's called the "mini course" as it's shorter than our Advanced Practitioner Certification and doesn't yet include technique videos or certification tests (coming soon). Focus on elevating results with the 4x4 treatment matrix and advanced practices. Perfect for chiropractors, osteopaths, and massage therapists progressing from our Introduction to IASTM Tools Course.
