What Is Muscle Blading?
Muscle blading is a technique designed to find and treat soft tissue injuries. It uses specialized tools, made from materials like stainless steel or plastic to gently scrape the skin, to help the tissues underneath and support the body’s natural healing process.

What to Expect During Muscle Blading Therapy at PMP Pain Center
The primary goal of muscle blading is to enhance the body’s natural healing response. When the therapist applies these tools to the skin, it helps increase blood flow and promote lymphatic drainage, which then results in reduced inflammation and accelerated tissue repair. Here’s what you can expect when you choose PMP Pain Center for blading technique:
1. Initial Assessment
Our licensed physical therapist will perform a thorough evaluation to assess your condition and medical history and identify the areas of pain or restriction.
2. Treatment Session
Using our IASTM tool, our therapist will gently scrape the skin over the treatment areas using appropriate pressure based on your comfort and condition.
3. Post-Treatment
After the session, our PT will provide recommendations for post-treatment care like stretching exercises, and discuss follow-up sessions as needed.
