What is Scraping Therapy?

Muscles are the movers, we all know that. These muscle get beat up day after day and become problematic fast. Muscle can very easily develop trigger points or knots. This happens when the fibers of the muscle become tight, spasmed, injured, stiff, over used and more. Often times poor POSTURE creates these trigger points/knots to arise and don’t even cause pain. Pain generally comes last and only starts after the body has had enough and deiced to tell you it’s angry. Muscles are suppose to be soft and supple. No knots or trigger points, no stiffness or tender spots, and have full elasticity or stretchability.

Scraping therapy uses tools, often metal, to break up these trigger points/knots. Its an extension of a Clinicians fingers and can help break up the muscle but also help get rid of adhesions and tough fascia. Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin.

Scraping Therapy focuses on these muscles and fascia. It will help improve the mobility of your nerves & the flexibility of your muscles and fascia by focusing on the fascial lines that connect through and wrap around muscle, nerves, organs, and just about everything else in your body.
