Graston Technique
Expert Graston Technique and Soft Tissue Therapy
We provide the specialized Graston Technique to help you recover from chronic inflammation and soft tissue injuries. This clinical method uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to identify and treat areas of restricted movement or scar tissue. NPPT uses these tools to restore your range of motion and reduce localized pain effectively.
How the Graston Technique Works
The Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that allows for deeper penetration than manual massage. We glide specialized tools over the skin to detect and break up fibrotic tissue or adhesions.
Identify Restrictions: The instruments act like a stethoscope to locate internal scar tissue and knots.
Break Up Adhesions: The textured contact helps release tight fascia and smoothed out damaged fibers.
Stimulate Healing: The process increases blood flow to the area to trigger your body’s natural repair response.
Reduce Inflammation: Regular sessions help clear out cellular waste and lower chronic swelling.
Common Conditions Treated
This technique is highly effective for both acute and chronic conditions that involve muscle and tendon tightness. We often use it to treat plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow. Patients suffering from postsurgical scar tissue or chronic neck and back pain also find significant relief through these targeted treatments.
Training for Long-Term Mobility
We combine the Graston Technique with specific stretching and strengthening exercises to maximize your recovery. Once the soft tissue restrictions are cleared, your muscles can move through a full range of motion without pain. This proactive approach ensures your joints remain flexible and resilient against future injuries or recurring tension.
