Graston Technique Therapy in Media, PA
Break Down Scar Tissue, Restore Mobility, and Get Back to Your Life, Faster.
Understanding Graston Technique
Graston Technique® is an innovative, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). It enables our clinicians to effectively detect and treat scar tissue and restrictions that affect normal function.
Using specially designed stainless steel instruments, our therapists gently glide them over your skin to identify areas of fascial adhesions or "knots." These instruments help to break down the problematic scar tissue and re-align muscle fibers, promoting better movement and reducing pain. Think of it as a precise way to smooth out the "roadblocks" in your soft tissues that are causing discomfort and limiting your range of motion.
Unlike general massage, Graston Technique specifically targets the source of your soft tissue pain for more focused and lasting results.

Your Graston Technique Journey: Comfort & Care
Your comfort and progress are our top priorities at The Rehab Room. Here’s what a typical Graston Technique session involves:
- Initial Consultation: We'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.
- Warm-Up: Light exercises or heat may be applied to prepare the tissue.
Treatment: Your therapist will use the Graston instruments to scan and treat the affected areas. You might feel a scraping or "gritty" sensation as the instruments identify and address restrictions. Treatment typically lasts for a few minutes per area. - Communication: We encourage open communication. Let your therapist know if you experience any significant discomfort.
- Post-Treatment: Some patients experience mild redness or bruising, similar to a deep massage, which usually subsides quickly. We may also recommend specific stretches or exercises.
Most patients report a noticeable improvement in pain and mobility within a few sessions.
