FASCIAL MOBILIZATION

WHAT IS IT? ​
A GENTLE BUT POWERFUL MASSAGE TO RELEASE YOUR TENSION AND ALLEVIATE PAIN. GRASTON TECHNIQUE (GT) THERAPY TREATS RESTRICTED MUSCLES AND TENDON DYSFUNCTION FROM INJURIES BY ELIMINATING SCAR TISSUE AND SUPPORTING THE REMODELING OF SOFT TISSUE STRUCTURES. OUR PHYSICAL THERAPIST WILL MANUALLY WORK ON AREAS OF PAIN, WHICH ALLOWS FOR FASTER HEALING TIMES AND RESOLVES DIFFICULT CHRONIC CONDITIONS. ​
​
Does it hurt?
WHILE SOME DISCOMFORT IS COMMON DURING THE GRASTON TECHNIQUE, IT IS GENERALLY NOT MEANT TO BE INTENSELY PAINFUL. THE TECHNIQUE AIMS TO RELIEVE PAIN, NOT CAUSE IT, BY BREAKING UP SOFT TISSUE RESTRICTIONS AND SCAR TISSUE. SOME PATIENTS MAY EXPERIENCE MILD DISCOMFORT OR A SCRAPING SENSATION AS THE INSTRUMENTS WORK ON THE AFFECTED AREA, AND MINOR BRUISING OR SORENESS AFTERWARDS IS ALSO NORMAL. HOWEVER, THE INTENSITY OF THE TREATMENT CAN BE ADJUSTED BASED ON THE PATIENT'S COMFORT LEVEL.
​
WHO IS IT FOR?
FASCIAL MOBILIZATION IS FOR ANYONE EXPERIENCING MUSCLE SORENESS, DYSFUNCTION, WEAKNESS, OR PAIN. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FASCIAL MOBILIZATION, YOU MUST FIRST BE EVALUATED BY OUR DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY BEFORE BOOKING YOUR FIRST SESSION.
