What Is Graston Therapy?
Graston therapy is an instrument-assisted soft tissue technique that uses specialized tools to address areas of muscle, tendon, fascia, or scar tissue restriction.
The tools allow Dr. Eddie to apply controlled pressure across specific tissues while assessing texture, sensitivity, and mobility. This can help improve soft tissue tolerance and prepare the area for movement, stretching, or strengthening.
Graston therapy is typically used as one part of a larger treatment plan, not as a stand-alone fix. It works best when paired with guided movement and progressive loading.
benefits Include
Graston therapy may help improve soft tissue mobility and reduce sensitivity in targeted areas.
Graston Therapy May Help With:
- Soft tissue restriction
- Tendon-related discomfort
- Scar tissue sensitivity
- Muscle tightness
- Restricted range of motion
- Overuse-related irritation
- Movement discomfort during activity
Conditions Treated
Graston therapy may be useful when tissue restriction or sensitivity is limiting movement or recovery.
Common Conditions Include:
- Achilles or patellar tendon irritation
- Plantar fascia discomfort
- IT band or lateral thigh tightness
- Shoulder or forearm overuse symptoms
- Post-surgical scar tissue sensitivity
- Calf, quad, or hamstring restriction
- Repetitive strain from sport or work
Techniques Used
Dr. Eddie selects the tool, pressure, and treatment direction based on the tissue involved and your tolerance.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Specialized tools are used to apply controlled pressure to muscles, tendons, or fascia.
Tendon-Focused Treatment
Targeted instrument work may be used around irritated tendons to support mobility and loading tolerance.
Scar Tissue Mobility Work
For appropriate cases, treatment may focus on improving comfort and movement around healed scar tissue.
Movement-Based Follow-Up
After treatment, guided exercise helps reinforce improved tissue capacity and functional movement.
What to Expect
Sensitivity Assessment
Dr. Eddie evaluates the area to determine whether Graston therapy is appropriate and how much pressure to use.
Instrument Treatment
Treatment is applied to specific areas of restriction while your comfort and tissue response are monitored.
Mobility Reinforcement
You may perform selected movements afterward to help the treated tissue tolerate activity more effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Graston therapy painful?
It can feel intense or sensitive, but treatment should remain tolerable and controlled.
Will Graston therapy cause bruising?
Mild redness or temporary marks can occur. Dr. Eddie adjusts pressure to avoid unnecessary irritation.
Is Graston only for athletes?
No. It can be helpful for active people, post-surgical clients, or anyone with soft tissue restriction.
Can Graston break up scar tissue?
It may help improve comfort and mobility around restricted tissue, but results depend on the tissue type, healing stage, and overall plan.
Do I need exercises after Graston therapy?
Usually, yes. Movement and strengthening help the tissue adapt and maintain progress.
