Effect of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Dynamic Cupping

"Group A received IASTM treatment, which will be given by the Edge tool, that is an ergonomically designed stainless steel instrument and offers several different hand holds, eliminating operator fatigue. Prior to the treatment, the IASTM therapeutic effects will be explained. The scanning assessment will be done to identify areas of restrictions directed by the gritty sensations using the Edge tool. Each restriction will be treated with the tool for 30-60 sec and given. This treatment will be given for 30 minutes for 3 days per week for 4 weeks"

On the contrary, group B the patient will be seated in a chair with the elbow flexed on the plinth to relax the forearm muscles. The area around the elbow joint will be cleaned with alcohol to remove any foreign bodies from the treated area. Dynamic cupping therapy for elbow stiffness will begin with an assessment of the patient\'s condition, where factors such as the extent of stiffness and range of motion in the elbow joint will be evaluated. Following this assessment, lubricant will be applied to the skin surrounding the elbow to facilitate smooth movement of the cups. Cups of suitable size and material will then be strategically placed around the elbow joint, and suction will be created inside each cup to create a vacuum effect. Once thesecurely attached, the practitioner will move them around the elbow area using gentle techniques such as gliding or pumping motions.
