Graston Technique

Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), using specialized stainless-steel instruments to work through skin, muscle, tendons, and fascia. These instruments are designed to "catch" on areas of fibrotic, restricted tissue — which means Dr. Trista can actually feel exactly where your restriction or dysfunction is, not just guess based on where it hurts.

That precision translates directly into results: improved soft tissue mobility, increased blood flow, reduced pain, and faster healing. Paired with targeted stretching and strengthening, Graston Technique helps rebuild injured tissue into tissue that actually functions well again — not just tissue that stopped hurting.
