Description: Foot & Ankle Self-Treatment (IASTM Series)

In this series, we discuss IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) for the Foot and Ankle. 

We cover: 
1. The impact shoe wear can be having on your foot function
2. Brief anatomy overview, including the plantar fascia and other structures of the foot/ankle
3. How to find a restriction
4. Techniques to work on foot/ankle restrictions using a tennis ball, cane, massage gun, scraper and voodoo floss.
5. Proper dosage - when and how often to perform IASTM to these areas

Let's get into it! 

If you ever need to modify intensity of these techniques, use the PTSD acronym:
1. Pressure (Increase/Decrease)
2. Tissue Length (Increase/Decrease)
3. Static vs Dynamic techniques (which involve moving the body)

IASTM Application 
 - Before training, 30-60 sec each point of restriction
 - After Training, 90-120 sec at each point of restriction
 - 3x/wk or more for best results
 - Avoid sharp or severe pain
