Precision tools for stubborn tissue.
IASTM, also known as the Graston Technique, uses smooth, ergonomically designed instruments to glide along the skin and detect areas of scar tissue, adhesion, and restriction beneath the surface. Where the hands feel tension, the tools let us treat it with greater precision and reach.
By working those restricted areas, we help break down adhesions, calm irritated tissue, and free up the movement they were limiting. It is a focused complement to manual therapy and exercise, not a standalone fix, and we apply it inside your full one-on-one plan.
A clear process. No guessing.
Find the Restriction
We assess how you move and use the instruments to scan the tissue, feeling for the adhesions and restrictions that are driving your stiffness or pain.
Treat with Intention
Using controlled strokes, we work the restricted areas to break down adhesions and stimulate the tissue. We adjust pressure to what your body tolerates comfortably.
Move & Reinforce
We immediately pair the work with targeted movement and exercise so your body uses the new mobility and the gains hold between sessions.
