What Is the Graston Technique?

K. Yavuz BulutFebruary 23, 20261 min read

Graston is a technique that supports soft tissue mobilization through specially designed instruments. Also known as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), this approach offers a complementary option to hands-on techniques.

How does the Graston Technique work?

Specialized instruments provide a level of contact with areas of tissue tension that can be difficult to reach by hand alone. This allows for a more targeted approach to regional tension.

Who might it be suitable for?

  • Those experiencing intense tissue tension in specific areas
  • Athletes and those who exercise regularly
  • Those seeking additional support alongside manual techniques
  • Individuals experiencing movement limitations

The session process

A regional assessment is carried out before the session. Instrument use is planned individually based on tissue structure and level of tension. Temporary redness may appear in the area after the session; this usually resolves on its own within a short time.
