IASTM / Graston

Instrument-Assisted Soft-Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), commonly known as the Graston Technique, uses stainless-steel tools to “scrape” across the skin. This specific technique facilitates tissue healing by increasing local circulation and remodeling scar tissue, which helps decrease pain.

The Graston Technique is effective for treating various musculoskeletal conditions, including tendinopathy, muscle strains, and other connective tissue disorders.

Discovering the Benefits of IASTM: Why Graston Technique Might Be for You

In the world of physical therapy and rehabilitation, finding the most effective treatment methods can feel overwhelming. One technique that’s been gaining traction among practitioners and patients alike is Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IA), commonly known as the Graston Technique. If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain or recent injuries, understanding the benefits of IASTM may help you decide if this innovative treatment is worth exploring.

Increased blood flow: The technique enhances circulation, delivering crucial nutrients and oxygen to injured tissues.
Reduced recovery time: Patients often find that they can return to their daily activities more swiftly compared to traditional methods.
Tendinitis: By breaking down scar tissue and loosening tight muscles, IASTM can alleviate discomfort associated with tendinitis.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: The technique can help ease pressure on the median nerve by releasing tension in the forearm muscles.
Stretching of soft tissue: The instruments used help to break down the adhesions and restrictions in the fascia, allowing for greater flexibility.
Enhanced functional movement: As patients regain their range of motion, they can engage in everyday activities without discomfort.

Graston Technique is like giving the body a tune-up. It can help identify and treat issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
