Graston Technique

The Graston Technique is a specialized form of manual therapy known as Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). It uses specially designed stainless steel tools to gently massage and scrape the skin, helping to break down scar tissue and restrictions in the soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and fascia.

This technique is used to:
    •    Reduce pain and inflammation
    •    Improve mobility and flexibility
    •    Speed up recovery from injuries
    •    Address chronic or stubborn soft tissue conditions

Conditions commonly treated with the Graston Technique include:
    •    Tendinitis (like tennis or golfer’s elbow)
    •    Plantar fasciitis
    •    IT band syndrome
    •    Shin splints
    •    Scar tissue after surgery or injury
    •    Chronic muscle tightness

Only clinicians who are specially trained and certified in the Graston Technique can perform this treatment. At Be Well Physical Therapy, our certified providers use this evidence-based method to help you move better, feel better, and heal faster.
