Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), including Graston Technique®, is used to help improve soft tissue mobility, reduce pain, and restore normal movement. It may be beneficial for certain muscle, tendon, ligament, and fascial conditions, as well as selected post-surgical and chronic musculoskeletal complaints.

When appropriate, IASTM is combined with corrective exercises and progressive rehabilitation to improve movement quality, increase tissue tolerance, and support long-term recovery rather than simply providing temporary symptom relief.
