People with soft tissue therapy needs, chronic pain, or scar tissue can benefit from the Graston technique. It is especially effective for individuals with conditions such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, or muscle strains. A consultation with our physical therapist will determine if the Graston technique is right for you based on your condition.
After just one session, many patients feel a significant improvement, particularly in terms of mobility and muscle pain relief. Full results typically appear after 4–6 sessions, depending on the severity of the condition and the individual response to treatment.
Depending on how severe your ailment is and how well you respond to treatment, the effects may last anywhere from a few weeks to many months. Regular sessions can help maintain relief and prevent future tissue restrictions.
There is minimal downtime after the Graston technique. The majority of patients are immediately able to return to their normal activities. Some mild soreness, bruising, or redness may occur, but these side effects are typically brief and fade within a few days.
Before treatment, avoid heavy exercise and stay hydrated. It’s important to inform your therapist about any allergies or health concerns. After treatment, rest and avoid intense physical activity for the day. To support recovery, drink plenty of water and apply ice to the treated area if necessary.
As the therapist applies controlled pressure to the problem area using specialized devices, you can experience discomfort or mild pain during this type of scraping therapy, which promotes circulation and aids in the breakdown of scar tissue and myofascial restrictions. The treatment usually takes 15–30 minutes, and while you may experience some soreness afterward, the effects are generally well-tolerated.
