🚗 Whiplash? Here’s how we approach it.

This is IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation) - a manual therapy technique used to address soft tissue restrictions following neck injuries, including whiplash.

It can assist with:
✔️ Reducing myofascial tension
✔️ Improving range of motion
✔️ Supporting local blood flow
✔️ Guiding soft tissue healing through mechanical stimulation

Whiplash symptoms may include:
🔹 Neck stiffness
🔹 Headaches
🔹 Shoulder tension
🔹 Pain with movement

This technique is applied as part of a structured, evidence-informed rehab plan - not a standalone fix.

🧠 Woke up with neck pain? Try this gentle towel traction technique!

FOLLOW FOR MORE TIPS

👉Neck stiffness or a dull ache in the morning can often come from poor sleeping posture or a tight cervical spine.

One effective home remedy is cervical towel traction - a gentle decompression method that can help relieve pressure.

⸻

🧴 How to Perform Towel Traction:

1. 🪢 Grab a medium-sized towel and fold it lengthwise.

2. 🪑 Sit in a chair with back support or stand against a wall.

3. 🙆 Place the middle of the towel around the base of your skull. Dave here had discomfort at C3/4.

4. ✋ Hold both ends of the towel in front of you, arms crossed or uncrossed, depending on comfort.

5. 🧘‍♂️ Gently pull upwards and slightly forward, keeping the angle in line with the plane of your jaw - like you’re giving your neck a lift.

6. 🕐 Hold for 10–15 seconds, then rest. Repeat for 5–10 reps.

👉This creates a mild decompression through the cervical spine and can help relieve tightness, nerve irritation, or muscular tension.

⸻

⚠️ Contraindications - Do NOT use if you have:

🚫 Recent trauma or suspected fracture
🚫 Cervical instability or known ligament laxity (e.g. RA, Down syndrome)
🚫 Severe osteoporosis
🚫 Active cervical disc herniation with severe symptoms
🚫 Vertebral artery insufficiency (positive VBI tests)
🚫 Dizziness, fainting, or double vision with head movements
🚫 Recent spinal surgery without medical clearance

⸻

👴🏽👵 Feeling stiff through your lower back? Like you’re 85 when you try to tie your shoes?

🪄It’s not magic, but it does help.
Combine it with proper strength work, improved bio-mechanics, and movement strategies to keep your back feeling strong and mobile.

💥 Lying External Rotation Mobilisation

This mobilisation helps:
👉 Open up the front of the shoulder
👉 Reduce irritation through the cuff
👉 Improve overhead + racket-sport control
👉 Build clean joint mechanics before loading

If you’re getting tightness, catching, or fatigue around the shoulder, this one is an essential part of your toolkit 👇

🎯 Treating Shin Splints with IASTM 💪

👉Struggling with shin splints?

🏃‍♂️ IASTM can help restore function and reduce pain.

1️⃣ Pin: Apply targeted pressure to a specific area of restriction or tightness using the IASTM tool. This locks the tissue in place. Or like in the video apply a glide with the tool as the client performs an active movement.

2️⃣ Stretch: While maintaining the pressure, guide the muscle through its range of motion to stretch and release the surrounding fascia and tissue adhesions.

📚Why It Works
• Releases tight or overworked muscles.
• Promotes blood flow to aid recovery.
• Improves tissue mobility and flexibility.

🤓This technique is taught in our IASTM Course. December dates online now!

👉We use this technique daily in clinic, Appointments are available by booking through the link in our bio!

☎️Or call 0141 334 1223!
