What Is the Graston Technique?

The Graston Technique involves using smooth, stainless steel instruments to gently scrape the skin and underlying tissues. This process helps break down scar tissue, release fascial restrictions, and stimulate healing in areas of chronic tightness or injury.

Who Is This For?

People dealing with lingering soft tissue pain or stiffness

Effective for conditions like tendonitis, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis

Anyone recovering from overuse injuries, surgeries, or restricted mobility

What to Expect

After an assessment of your pain or restriction areas, Jaedon applies the Graston instruments with slow, targeted strokes. The process is firm but controlled, often followed by movement exercises to support the release.

Assessment: Locating areas of tissue restriction or adhesion

Treatment: Gentle scraping to break down scar tissue and improve circulation

Relief: Often immediate improvements in mobility and comfort

Why It Works

By physically disrupting adhesions and improving tissue glide, Graston Scraping helps reset soft tissue movement patterns. This technique supports your body’s natural healing, leading to quicker recovery and fewer compensations down the line.

Jaedon's Approach

"It’s not about pushing through pain. It’s about understanding what your body’s holding on to, and giving it the right input to let go. Graston is one of those tools that unlocks what’s stuck so healing can happen."
