You might have seen photos on Facebook or Instagram of people with large red marks on their back or shoulders after having "scraping". It's currently a very popular technique for helping with aches and pains, but not many people know what it actually does or how it helps.
Although scraping might seem new, it's actually a very old technique and its full name is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation, or IASTM.
IASTM uses special tools to help treat the muscles and connective tissues. The tools are designed to glide over the skin to help release tight muscles - you could think of it as being like a deep, precise massage with the help of special tools (the "instruments").
It's sometimes called scraping because of the way the tools are used; it can feel like a light, scraping sensation when the tools are moved over your skin, but it's not as harsh or uncomfortable as it sounds. As a specialist in scraping techniques, I always adjust and control the pressure to your comfort level so that the treatment isn't just effective, it's comfortable too.
Scraping or IASTM works by helping stimulate the body's healing responses, encouraging your body to repair and regenerate tissues, leading to relief from pain with improved mobility.
There's lots of reasons to try IASTM or scraping, including
-
Relief from muscular aches and pains
-
Improved mobility and flexibility.
-
Enhanced sports performance
-
Speeded up recovery from injury

IAN SAYS
Another excellent sports massage from Arran! I’ve never had a treatment before where I’ve had such quick results. It’s great to get mobility and flexibility back in my body! Very professional and friendly service, always made to feel comfortable and I’ve booked in for my 3rd treatment. 5*
RICHARD SAYS
I contacted Arran after 6 months of physio had done nothing for a number of issues I was experiencing, including sciatica. Arran took time to listen to my history and asked questions to identify what might be causing my sciatica. He identified some issues with my piriformis and tightness through the hamstrings and quads. After the session I slept the night through for the first time in weeks and haven't had any sciatic pain since. He has also taken the time go check on me daily following the treatments. I'll definitely be booking again. Top class service. Thank you!
TOM SAYS
I booked in for an urgent appointment and got seen that same day. I was struggling to walk because of the pain in my lower back and whilst I expected the issue to be in my back, I was shocked to spend most of the time working on my upper legs but afterwards I can move normally again, my flexibility is back and my pain has gone, worked like absolute magic and I've booked back in because it's the best result I've seen from a sports massage. Great work and clearly understands how the muscle groups work together.
