What Does Muscle Scrapping Involve?
Most muscle scrapping sessions start with a light warm-up followed by gentle exercise to support recovery. The actual treatment usually lasts only a few minutes. During this time, Dr. Hoffman carefully glides smooth, blunt tools over your skin in soft scraping motions. This helps identify areas of soft-tissue damage by highlighting subtle differences in the tissue. These instruments allow Dr. Hoffman to locate and treat problem spots effectively. If your injury is older or covers a wide area, multiple visits may be necessary.
Book OnlineHow Does This Therapy Work?
Muscle scrapping applies cross-friction massage to gently reintroduce mild trauma to affected soft tissues or old scar areas. This stimulates increased blood flow, encouraging quicker healing. Patients often find relief from both acute and chronic pain when other treatments haven’t worked. This non-invasive approach never breaks the skin and feels similar to a deep-tissue massage, where hands and fingertips manipulate soft tissue to ease tension.
