IASTM Protocols by Condition

Each page below covers the mechanism behind the condition, the at-home IASTM protocol used by manual therapists, common treatment mistakes, and the right tool for the job. Start with the condition that brought you here.

Foot & Lower Leg

• IASTM for Plantar Fasciitis — Plantar fasciitis isn't a heel problem. It's a fascia problem. Here's the at-home protocol that addresses the actual restriction.
• IASTM for IT Band Syndrome — Why foam rolling almost never fixes IT band pain, and the tool protocol that actually reaches the tissue.

Elbow & Forearm

• IASTM for Tennis Elbow (and Golfer's Elbow) — Lateral and medial epicondylalgia are fascial loading issues. Here's why the pain keeps coming back — and the full-chain forearm protocol.
• IASTM for Forearm and Wrist Pain — The desk worker's protocol for flexor and extensor compartment restrictions from typing and mouse use.

Neck & Upper Back

• IASTM for Neck and Trap Tension — Why massage relief never seems to hold, and the fascial restriction pattern that keeps reloading. Includes upper trap, levator scapulae, and suboccipital protocols.
