Who we work with that also think
this is important:
Course Objectives
l  Review the layers, subunits, and function of the connective tissue system
l  Summarize the role collagen cross bonding may or may not play in
affecting movement patterns, and the gap in science on stretching and
length-tension curves
l  Define the terms tensegrity, thixotropy, as they relate to creep and
hysteresis tissue texture abnormalities and movement
l  Distinguish differences in manual therapy approaches utilizing various
IASTM tools, including negative pressure, and the differences in
movement driven STM
l  Describe common IASTM interventions which improve mobility of the CT
system, as it relates to neuromuscular re-education and movement.
l  Learn 3 methods for improving your patient’s mobility with a fascial focus

Negative Pressure: Many
Cultures
Ø  Landau AG, et. Al. 2008 - The results of this study confirm that the
use of Negative Pressure Device enhances full thickness skin grafts
Ø  Roostayi MM,et Al. 2009 - vacuum brace is able to create joint
distraction and useful for changes in PFPS
Ø  Egemen O, et. Al. 2011
Ø  negative pressure wound therapy provides quick wound-bed
preparation and complete graft take in managing wound care
