Mr Gary Lang

Gary Lang first became acquainted with soft tissue tools in the 1980’s while working for Crowl Physical Therapy and Sacramento City College in Northern California. Gary was introduced to the foundations of manual therapy under the direction of Bob Moore ATC PT, Don Torrey ATC PT, Michael Moore PT and Loren “Bear” Rex D.O. all pioneering “hands on” practitioners. Throughout his work over the decades with the United States Olympic Committee, the U.S. Track and Field Association, FIFA and IAAF, Gary was introduced to a wide range of soft tissue implements made from wood, ceramic, plastic polymers, rubber, jade, metals and stainless steel, all designed to manipulate soft tissue.

While expanding his experiences, Gary realized that instruments designed with multiple asymmetrical curves–both concave and convex–would better fit the variety of anatomical structures of the human body. Well-defined double beveled treatment edges, circumnavigating the perimeter each instrument, would not only make treatment applications easier for the practitioner, but prevent unnecessary bruising associated with traditional IASTM.

Gary’s updated Dynamic Release instruments are neither forged nor casted, but instead cut from dense non-porous solid stainless steel. While more expensive to manufacture, solid stainless steel creates a unique vibration during treatment. The non-porous instruments are quickly and easily cleaned, preventing the transfer of pathogens between patients.
