Graston and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) are hands-on physiotherapy techniques that use specialized tools to treat soft tissue restrictions. They are commonly used for muscle tightness, tendon injuries, and scar tissue that limit movement and cause pain. These restrictions often develop from overuse, injury, or repetitive strain.
Physiotherapy uses Graston and IASTM to promote tissue healing and restore normal movement. When combined with exercise and movement retraining, this treatment helps reduce pain, improve flexibility, and support faster, long-term recovery.
Graston and IASTM focus on identifying and treating dysfunctional soft tissue. Physiotherapy integrates these techniques to improve movement quality and tissue health.
Reduced muscle tightness
Improved tissue mobility
Support for tendon healing
Decreased pain and stiffness
Improved movement function
Graston and IASTM support tissue healing, mobility restoration, and functional improvement.
Specialized instruments help break down restrictions and stimulate healthy tissue response.
Enhanced tissue movement supports flexibility and smoother joint motion.
Better tissue health supports strength, activity tolerance, and long-term recovery.
