BREAK DOWN SCAR TISSUE AND REDUCE PAIN WITH THE GRASTON TECHNIQUE AT FIXXED
Do you struggle with lingering pain, scar tissue, or stiffness that just won’t go away? You’re not alone—many people deal with restricted movement and discomfort after injuries, surgeries, or repetitive strain. At Fixxed – physical therapy in Wakefield, one of the most effective tools we use to restore mobility and reduce pain is the Graston Technique.
WHY THE GRASTON TECHNIQUE WORKS
The Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). Instead of relying only on hands-on therapy, your physical therapist uses specially designed stainless steel tools to detect and treat scar tissue and adhesions beneath the skin.
By applying precise pressure with these tools, we can:
Break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions
Improve blood flow and tissue healing
Reduce chronic tension and pain
Restore mobility and function in muscles and tendons
It’s particularly effective for issues like scar tissue, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other conditions where soft tissues become tight, irritated, or restricted.
