Graston therapy
What is Graston therapy, IASTM, or a Rockblade?
Not a knuckle duster
Graston Therapy is a cutting-edge, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) technique designed to address pain, mobility issues, and soft tissue dysfunction caused by injuries, overuse, or surgery. Using specially crafted stainless steel instruments, including our preferred tool, the Rockblade, this therapy helps break down scar tissue and adhesions, promoting healing and restoring movement. It’s a popular choice among athletes, rehabilitation specialists, and individuals seeking relief from a range of chronic conditions.
Developed in the 1990s by David Graston, this innovative therapy has since evolved into a refined and evidence-based practice. Its effectiveness has made it a trusted method for physical therapists, chiropractors, and sports medicine professionals worldwide.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent discomfort or striving to optimize your physical performance, Graston Therapy offers a proven approach to feeling better, moving better, and recovering faster.

Frequently asked questions
There might be some mild discomfort during the treatment, especially in areas with a lot of tension or scar tissue, but it’s generally tolerable. Most clients find the relief outweighs any brief discomfort, which usually fades quickly.
Unlike traditional massage, IASTM uses specialized tools to target deeper layers of tissue, making it more precise for specific issues. This approach allows for a more thorough release of tension and fascial restrictions than hands alone might achieve.
Some clients notice immediate improvements, especially in terms of range of motion. For lasting results, a few sessions might be needed, depending on the severity of the issue and individual response to treatment.
IASTM is particularly effective for issues like muscle tightness, scar tissue from previous injuries, chronic pain, and limited range of motion. It can help release adhesions and break up fascial restrictions, making it ideal for chronic or stubborn muscular issues.
Mild bruising or redness is common, especially in areas where there’s more tension or scar tissue. This is a normal response as circulation improves in the treated areas and should fade in a few days.
