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.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SESSION

  1. Assessment & Warm-Up
    We evaluate your movement and the areas of restriction.

  2. Instrument-Assisted Treatment
    Using Graston tools, we apply targeted pressure across affected tissues. You may feel mild discomfort as adhesions are addressed.

  3. Healing Response
    The treatment stimulates your body’s natural repair process, helping remodel scar tissue and improve mobility.

  4. Follow-Up Exercises
    To lock in results, we pair Graston with mobility and strengthening exercises tailored to your needs.

It’s normal to feel some temporary soreness or redness—this is part of the healing process and usually resolves quickly.
