Graston Technique in Salisbury, MA
What Is Graston Technique?
Graston Technique is a form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) used to help treat soft tissue restrictions, muscle tightness, scar tissue, and movement limitations. At ProForm Physical Therapy in Salisbury, MA, we use Graston Technique as part of a comprehensive treatment approach to help patients reduce pain, restore mobility, and get back to doing what they love.
Using specialized stainless steel instruments, Graston Technique allows your physical therapist to detect areas of tissue restriction and apply targeted treatment to the affected muscles, tendons, fascia, and connective tissue. This hands-on approach can help improve tissue mobility, promote circulation, and support the healing process. Your current page already explains that Graston is a manual therapy technique and a form of IASTM used to address pain, tightness, and fascial dysfunction.
