Graston Technique (IASTM)

What will my Graston Technique sessions look like?

At the beginning of a Graston Technique treatment, the areas of the soft tissue fibrosis will be moved to make the scar tissue more receptive.

The edge of the stainless steel tool will be used to slowly glide across the affected soft tissue until it comes in contact with an adhesion.

Our physical therapist or chiropractor will then rub over the adhesion to elicit movement. This friction will help promote the healing process of your soft tissue injury.

The amount of pressure used with the instrument, and the speed in which it is done will vary depending on the nature of your condition, and it will be adjusted throughout the treatment.

After each treatment, the affected area will be stretched and our physical therapist or chiropractor will provide you with ice packs if you experience any soreness.

Most patients who receive the Graston technique will undergo two treatments a week, over a five-week time frame. You should expect to notice relief by the third or fourth treatment.

Some of the many benefits of the Graston Technique include:

  • Breakdown of collagen cross-links
  • Boost in cellular activity for good health
  • Increased rate of volume and blood flow to affected areas to enhance healing
  • Increased mobility and ability to perform daily tasks
  • Reduction in inflammation
  • Reduction in pain, for a better quality of life
