What is Scraping?
Scraping That Helps You Move Better
Scraping — or instrument-assisted soft tissue work — is a hands-on technique I use to break up tension, improve mobility, and support healing. Using a specialized tool, I apply targeted pressure over tight or restricted areas to help reduce scar tissue, improve blood flow, and get muscles and tendons moving the way they should. It’s especially useful for things like chronic tightness, tendon issues, and overuse injuries. The goal? Less pain, better movement, and faster recovery.
How Does it work?
What to Expect During a Scraping Session
In a scraping session, I use a smooth-edged tool to apply gentle, controlled strokes over tight or restricted areas. This helps break up scar tissue and adhesions in the muscles and fascia, improving how your body moves and feels. The technique boosts blood flow, encourages tissue repair, and even supports collagen production to improve strength and flexibility. I always adjust the pressure based on your comfort and your body’s needs, making sure the treatment is both effective and personalized.

Why Scraping Works
Scraping is a powerful tool for reducing pain, improving mobility, and speeding up recovery. It’s especially helpful for people dealing with chronic tightness, old injuries, or movement restrictions that won’t go away. By breaking up soft tissue restrictions and boosting circulation, scraping helps calm inflammation and supports your body’s natural healing process. For athletes and active individuals, it’s a great way to keep muscles moving well, prevent injuries, and perform at a higher level. Bottom line — you’ll move better, feel better, and recover faster.
