IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) uses a smooth, bladed tool to glide over the skin and soft tissue layers beneath.
�It starts with light strokes to identify areas of tension or restriction, then uses more targeted pressure to treat them.

The goal is to improve tissue pliability, increase local blood flow, and restore range of motion. People often notice less tension, less stiffness, and smoother movement.

I love using a foam roller as a tool in clinical Pilates (and other exercises)! Here’s a few ways I used it in class this week 👆

Try this core series I taught in my Clinical Pilates class this week using a Pilates ball!

All of the movements in this series are performed with a neutral spine which effectively engages the deep core and minimizes extra pressure on the lower back.

Neck tension giving you a headache today? Try these movements before reaching for that pain reliever! And book your chiro appointment for some extra relief 💆‍♀️

Try this glute bridge series I taught in my Clinical Pilates class this week.

Glute bridges are a movement I use in almost every class because they’re such a great way to build core strength, hip stability, and glute strength, while also helping the low back feel more supported.

Small variations can change which muscles are working more.�✨ Squeezing the ball helps bring in the inner thighs�✨ Lifting the heels can increase the work through the calves and posterior chain�✨ Lifting the arms overhead adds an extra challenge for the core and shoulder stability

These simple progressions are a great way to build strength and resilience for everyday movement.

Save this one to try later! 💪

Shoulders feeling pinchy when reaching overhead? Try these movements with your foam roller to release tension through the shoulder muscles and improve mobility🙋‍♀️
