What is Graston Technique / IASTM?
Graston Technique / IASTM addresses joint, soft tissue, and movement restrictions through hands-on therapy and targeted loading. It is part of our Chiropractic Sports Medicine pillar — one of three integrated care pathways available to Lake Forest patients at FRI.
Who is it for?
Graston Technique / IASTM is most useful for patients with acute injury, post-surgical recovery, athletic performance goals, or chronic pain that has not resolved with passive care. During your initial visit we'll confirm whether this is the right tool for your case or whether a different approach would serve you better.
ZIP 92630 is about 5 miles from the clinic at 26400 La Alameda, Suite 100, Mission Viejo 92691. The closest other cities in this service area are Mission Viejo (92691), Rancho Santa Margarita (92688), Aliso Viejo (92656).
What happens in the session
IASTM uses instruments to treat denser soft tissue and tendon that hands alone are not changing. It is uncomfortable in a focused way and should not bruise as a goal.
We use it on the tissue the exam implicated, then load that tissue with a simple exercise so the change survives the next workout or workday.
What Graston Technique / IASTM pairs well with
We rarely use any single technique in isolation. For Lake Forest patients, Graston Technique / IASTM is often combined with:
- Corrective Exercise Therapy
- Active Release Technique
- Joint Mobilization
