Graston is a form of Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). It's a hands-on treatment technique for myofascial restrictions performed by a skilled therapist (typically a chiropractor or a physiotherapist). With the use of specially designed instruments, Graston creates a mobilizing effect on scar tissue and adhesions in the soft tissue.
Graston/IASTM can be used to treat a variety of conditions including hip, neck and back pain, rotator cuff tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, scar tissue, and much more. Speak to your therapist to see if Graston/IASTM is right for you.
