You finally bought your IASTM tools, but you’re now wondering which tool goes where? These stainless steel scraping tools may look intimidating at first, but once you get the gist of it, your customers will fall in love with the results and you’ll wish someone can try them on you. Here is a simple guide on how to use each and every one of Lierre’s stainless steel scraping tools.


These tools are mainly used for instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. Because of the variety of shapes and sizes available in one set, the set allows chiropractors, massage therapists, and sports therapists to locate the problem area and effectively treat it.


Key step is to apply your favorite massage oil before using any of the tools. Using massage tools without prepping the skin can lead to irritation and cracked skin. Using a massage lotion or cream will also help prevent any skin damage. But, these stainless steel gua shas can easily scrape off the lotion and cream and make it more of a hassle to reapply the scrape product back onto your patients’ body.


Lierre’s long stainless steel scraping tool is ideal for your back, shoulder blades, nape and other large areas. Unlike typical gua shas, the long stainless steel scraping tool can provide an equal amount of pressure on wider areas. 


Using both hands as though you were holding onto a bicycle handle, glide the tool along the area and retract back after you’ve reached at least 6 inches to repeat the same motion. The slightly curved shape allows it to glide better with the natural curves of your patients’ body.
