In-Home Graston Technique

Instrument-assisted soft-tissue therapy that breaks down scar tissue and adhesions to restore smooth, pain-free movement - delivered one-on-one in your home.

What Is the Graston Technique?

The Graston Technique is a proven form of instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM). Your therapist uses specially designed stainless-steel instruments to glide over the skin and detect areas of scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restriction - the fibrous "knots" that build up after injury, overuse, or surgery and quietly limit how freely a muscle or tendon can move.

By treating those restrictions directly, the Graston Technique helps reduce pain, improve range of motion, and jump-start the body's natural healing response. At Focus Rehabilitation, it is always applied by a licensed therapist, one-on-one in your home, and combined with the stretching and strengthening that make the results last.

How We Use the Graston Technique at Home

Your therapist blends instrument work with hands-on care and a personalized exercise plan, adjusting pressure to your comfort at every step.

1

Locate the restriction

Gentle strokes with the instrument help pinpoint scar tissue and tight fascia contributing to your pain.

2

Treat the tissue

Controlled instrument work breaks down adhesions and stimulates blood flow to the area.

3

Restore movement

We follow with stretching and mobilization so the freed-up tissue moves smoothly again.

4

Reinforce with exercise

Targeted strengthening locks in your gains and helps prevent the restriction from returning.
