Accelerate Recovery with Graston Technique at NYPPT

The Graston Technique at New York Plaza Physical Therapy is a specialized form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that can break up scar tissue and improve tissue function. Our therapists use specially designed stainless steel tools to gently “scrape” and massage affected muscles and tendons. This targeted approach helps restore normal muscle movement and significantly reduces pain from injuries, post-surgery recovery, or chronic conditions.

What to Expect

• Tool-Assisted Therapy: During your session, the therapist will use Graston instruments on the targeted area. You may feel mild pressure or stretching as the tools glide over your skin.
  
  

• Combination with Exercise: Graston is always part of a complete treatment plan. After treating the tissue, the therapist will guide you through exercises to reinforce proper movement.
  
  

• Safe and Thorough: Therapists are trained to vary pressure and technique according to your tolerance; most patients find it more comfortable than it looks.
  
  

• Progressive Improvement: As therapy continues, scar tissue and adhesions diminish, and you regain more normal motion and less pain.
  
  

Key Benefits

• Scar Tissue Breakdown: Accelerates the remodeling of scar tissue, which can improve mobility and flexibility.
  
  

• Improved Circulation: Graston tools increase blood flow to injured areas, promoting faster healing.
  
  

• Pain Reduction: Targets chronic muscle and tendon pain (e.g., from tendonitis or tight muscles) for relief.
  
  

• Enhanced Function: Many patients quickly notice smoother movement and strength gains after treatment.
  
  
• Efficient Healing: Speeds recovery from sprains, strains, and surgical adhesions by directly treating soft tissue restrictions.
