The Future of Recovery: Combining Vibration with IASTM
In the world of recovery and soft tissue therapy, two techniques have become go-to solutions for professionals and everyday users alike: Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and vibration therapy.
IASTM uses handheld tools—like scrapers or mobilizers—to break down scar tissue and adhesions in the fascia. This process helps release muscles from restriction, restoring mobility and improving flexibility. Tools such as the FlexEdge and similar metal scrapers have become widely recognized for their effectiveness in this area.
At the same time, vibration therapy—popularized by percussion massage guns—has taken off. These devices use high-frequency vibrations to stimulate soft tissue from the surface down, helping to relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and enhance range of motion.
What if you didn’t have to choose between them?
Imagine a single tool that combines the deep, targeted action of scraping with the soothing and restorative effects of vibration. Now, that idea is a reality.
Introducing the Force Mini 2.0—the first vibrating scraper with a flexible front edge. This one-of-a-kind tool doesn’t just add vibration to scraping; its flexible edge amplifies the vibration, driving it deeper into the fascia and across a broader area of tissue. The result? A more effective and efficient treatment that helps the body recover faster and move better.
And it’s not just the attachment that’s impressive. The Force Mini 2.0 percussion device weighs in at under 1 pound, yet delivers up to 3200 RPM, giving you professional-grade power in a lightweight, travel-friendly form.
Technology that Puts Recovery in Your Hands
As recovery tools evolve, they’re no longer limited to clinical use. Consumers now have access to what was once only available in physical therapy offices and sports medicine clinics.
The Force Mini 2.0 represents a major step forward in self-care technology—merging IASTM and vibration therapy into one portable, intuitive solution. Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or a health and wellness enthusiast, this tool helps you recover smarter, quicker, and more effectively.
This chart illustrates how vibrations travel deeper and farther through soft tissue when using the FlexEdge attachment compared to standard foam attachments. This enhanced transmission allows for more effective treatment of hard-to-reach areas—including around joints—while covering a greater area and improving the breakdown of adhesions and scar tissue.
