Best IASTM course

What does the top IASTM course has to offer, and what does it mean best IASTM course? As an organisation that offers continuing education & one that strives to give it's best to participants, here are what we look out for to refer to "best IASTM course" : 

• Delivery 

Needs to be engaging through the learning process for both practical and theoretical learners together. 

• Information

​Current, updated information is important to stay in the forefront of science, practical informations. Information just being copied from another course is rampant nowadays with repeating what is being told blindly. Researching subject topic is another important factor when on where they took the information to relay it into the course. 

• Structure 

Attending a course either online our live, a good structure for practising, theory and applying the principles are important factors to learning anything really. 

• Practise

How much mastery can you attain with the handling of the IASTM tool, does the facilitator teach you no specific handling or angles or modifications? Is there any live cases that uses IASTM for case studies? If anything, this is the most important part of any IASTM course, as it's what is going to make or break your tool practise after the course. During the course is when you want to learn & make as much mistakes as you can possibly think of. 

With that in mind, here are the best IASTM courses that you want to look into to learn, master, & grow your practise using them(not order): 

• Rockblade 
• Graston
• IASTM Clinic 
• Hawkgrips 

IASTM Course to avoid

What we have compiled for IASTM courses to avoid consists of a few things in mind which includes some of which is already mentioned above: 

1. Is the course work copied & pasted? 
2. ​Has anyone been cheated from the course? 
3. Is the information updated / current? 
4. Is the practise portion legit?

Is the course work copied & pasted? ​

Does your certificate/ tool look similar?

If they look and read in similarity: "has met and undergone extensive theory and advanced clinical training established by Integrated Training Institute's Board of Certifications and is recognised as a IASTM Provider for MSK Conditions" then you know it has been copied thoroughly. 

Tool: An original artwork can be seen and recognised a mile away and for the one that shaped the Polar tool, M. R Jab has been approached too many times with the question, why did you(founder) copy the tool? 

Course work: The course work was copied and done without the prior notice of IASTM Clinic's knowledge only to find out that the founder of KPI(Kinesio Prehab Institute) went to pocket the finances and used ITI's intellectual properties. 

Verdict: 
A copied certificate and course work which is no longer used within IASTM Clinic which updates it's course every year, that the certificate is nothing more than a waste of money. PS: The original tool was apparently taught with a few things wrong and apparently still going on in the course! There are a few others certification out there, which you as a potential customer need to do your homework, on who is teaching what and how they came about. Would you like a copy product or would rather pay for an original? Do your part and find out all you can about a brand or a product, just as you would before buying anything online. 

Has anyone been cheated from the course? 
M2T Blade
Infamously known for cheating a huge number of people all over the globe from online to live courses. Participants from Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and few others was scammed of for few of the course from Adam Bogar who's supposedly faked his qualification & credentials. A simple google will have you spending some time reading on this, but this is about a course that we help people avoid so don't say you have not been warned!
