A Specialized Technique for Addressing Soft Tissue Injuries
Are you suffering from a soft tissue injury? Do you have scars or adhesions that are causing pain and limiting your movement? If so, then the Graston technique can help you find relief.
The Graston technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). This manual therapy technique incorporates specialized ergonomic tools that gently massage and brush the skin, helping to heal injuries to the muscles, tendons, or ligaments.

What Condition Can Benefit from the Graston Technique?
We use the Graston technique to help manage a wide range of injuries and conditions, such as the following:
- Strains
Strains occur when you damage a muscle or tendon (which connects the muscle to your bone), leading to pain and limited mobility. Rotator cuff tears and back strains are too common examples. - Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis occurs when you damage your plantar fascia, a band of tissue stretching across the bottom of your foot, making walking and other movements painful.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs into your hand, becomes entrapped in a structure of bones and ligaments in your wrist (the carpal tunnel). It causes hand pain, numbness, and tingling.
- Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
We often incorporate the Graston technique as a pain management tool for patients rehabilitating after orthopedic surgery.
How Does the Graston Technique Work?
The Graston technique helps break up scar tissue and relieve muscle tension, making it an important tool in our drug-free approach to pain management. This treatment is especially beneficial in helping reduce scar tissue formation after a severe injury or surgery–that scar tissue can lead to long-term pain and immobility.
Other benefits of the Graston technique include the following:
- Reduction in inflammation
- Boost in cellular activity for good health
- Breakdown of collagen cross-links
- Increased mobility and ability to perform daily tasks
- Increased rate of volume and blood flow to affected areas to enhance healing
We incorporate the Graston technique into a omprehensive treatment program that will include additional physical therapy interventions, such as hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and more.
