What Is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)/Graston?
ASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), incorporating the Graston Technique, is a manual therapy that utilizes specialized tools to address scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This approach helps break up adhesions, enhancing mobility and restoring flexibility in the affected areas.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How Does IASTM/Graston Work?
The IASTM/Graston technique uses ergonomically designed tools to apply targeted pressure, effectively breaking down scar tissue and fascial restrictions within muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This precise application stimulates a localized inflammatory response, activating the body’s natural healing and repair processes for improved recovery and mobility.
