RockBlade at WSC

Emma Hickman our Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist has been busy qualifying in the Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue technique called RockBlading. RockTape who make that elastic athletic tape also train therapists in this hugely effective method for reducing muscle and fascial tension/restriction.

RockBlades are stainless steel tools used to assist in bodywork to help reduce pain.

Developed by RockTape – The tools comprise of a variety of different edges and shapes, which can be used to scan soft tissues for any areas of alteration in the soft tissue. When scanning the tissue, areas where there is increased vibration signal that there may be altered tissue.

The tool offers a very different form of tissue mobilisation to using the hands and can be extremely light and gentle in painful areas, or areas requiring injury rehabilitation.

It works by stimulating mechanical receptors which then desensitises the painful area

Rockblades are great for

• Treating scar tissue in the early stages

• Manipulating fascia for improved glide

• Increasing range of movement

• Speeding up the healing rate of the tissue

• Reduce localized pain

• Improve kinesthetic awareness and proprioception of the body

• Facilitate lymphatic fluid flow and drainage.
