From its origins and on through the future, the purpose of Therapeutic Scraping Essentials remains to bridge an instructional gap between traditional uses of tool based treatment and contemporary integration into mainstream physical rehabilitation, by raising fundamental skills for clinical providers and upcoming students.

This textbook has grown out of a commitment to serving those in need of musculoskeletal soft tissue based injuries. It has evolved from years of independent interests matched with dedicated clinical expertise, while navigating between Eastern medicine lineage and Western world mainstream practice. The path has expanded into a desire to assist other providers, whose duty is soft tissue therapy, to be able to see the motive for these sort of modalities and realize the safe, reliable, and effective ways to go about administering tool based scraping therapy.
