Graston Therapy is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that uses stainless steel tools to gently massage and scrape the skin, breaking down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.

t’s commonly used to treat:

• Plantar fasciitis

• IT band syndrome

• Shin splints

• Achilles tendinitis

• Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow

• Shoulder impingement

• Neck or back tightness

• Post-surgery scar tissue

• Chronic tension or muscle knots

You may feel some discomfort during or after the treatment, especially in areas with chronic tightness or scar tissue. Most clients describe it as a “good soreness,” similar to deep tissue work.

Redness, also known as Petechiae, is normal after treatment and should last anywhere from 1 day to 6 days (depending on skin type).

That depends on the severity and chronicity of the condition. Some feel relief after just 3–4 sessions (x1 a week), while others may benefit from 8–12 treatments spaced weekly.

Graston is generally safe, but it may be avoided on areas with:

• Open wounds

• Active infections

• Certain blood clotting disorders

• Advanced varicose veins

• Certain areas of the body for pregnant women

Drink plenty of water (electrolytes are a plus) along with:

1. Gentle movement or stretching can help

2. Avoid intense workouts for 24 hours if you're sore

3. Apply heat or ice if needed

No referral is needed. Anyone can schedule a session directly.

No it is not.
