Graston Technique in Fishers, Indiana

Graston Technique

Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy for areas of stiffness, scar tissue, and restricted movement.

Clinical Approach

Soft tissue care for restricted movement

Graston Technique is an instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy designed to reduce muscle tightness, improve mobility, and support injury recovery. It uses specialized stainless-steel instruments to assess and treat areas of soft tissue restriction.

Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. The clinician uses smooth-edged tools over muscles, tendons, ligaments, or fascia to identify areas that feel restricted and apply controlled treatment to those tissues. The goal is to improve tissue mobility, reduce sensitivity, and help the area tolerate better movement. It is often used for repetitive strain, tendon irritation, scar tissue, and stiffness that limits normal function.

Why soft tissue work is paired with active care

Soft tissue therapy may help improve mobility and reduce tension, while rehabilitation helps the body use that mobility with better control. Pairing both can support more durable progress.
