Graston Technique
We use the Graston Technique to help you break through the pain and reclaim your movement.
When traditional treatments stall, and your body’s stuck in a cycle of pain and restriction, it’s time to bring out the big guns. The Graston Technique is a powerful soft tissue therapy that goes deeper than massage, smarter than foam rolling, and sharper than your average PT clinic’s routine.
At Rx Rehab, we use it to zero in on what’s holding you back and eliminate it.
What Is the Graston Technique?
Graston Technique is a specialized form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that uses stainless steel tools to detect and treat adhesions, scar tissue, and areas of restricted mobility.
These tools allow our therapists to feel and respond to subtle changes in your tissue that hands alone can’t detect. When used correctly, Graston helps:
- Break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions
- Stimulate blood flow and healing
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Restore proper movement patterns
- Speed up recovery
It’s not a “relaxation” technique—it’s aggressive, effective, and designed for people who want real change in how their body moves and performs.
Who Is Graston Technique For?
Graston is ideal for active people, athletes, and anyone dealing with chronic or recurring pain that hasn’t responded to traditional treatment. We regularly use it to treat:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
- Shin Splints
- IT Band Syndrome
- Post-Surgical Scar Tissue
- Chronic Neck and Back Tension
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Frozen Shoulder
- Hamstring or Quad Tightness
If your tissue feels locked down, hypersensitive, or like it’s always one step away from re-injury—Graston can help reset the system and get things moving.
Why Rx Rehab Is Different
Let’s be clear: Graston isn’t magic on its own. A lot of clinics use the tools but skip the strategy. At Rx Rehab, we integrate Graston Technique into a comprehensive recovery plan based on:
- Real-time movement analysis
- Strength diagnostics
- Manual therapy and neuromuscular re-education
- Customized rehab exercises
We don’t just scrape and send you out the door. We treat the root cause, reinforce it with movement, and rebuild your body stronger. Every session is performance-driven. Every result is earned.
You’re here to get back to full throttle—and stay there.
What to Expect During a Graston Session
Your therapist will:
- Assess your movement and pinpoint dysfunction
- Apply the Graston tools to the affected areas using targeted strokes
- Follow up with hands-on therapy and corrective movement work
- Build a short-term recovery plan tailored to your goals
Yes—it might be uncomfortable. But so is staying stuck in pain.
