What is Graston Soft Tissue Therapy?
Graston soft tissue treatment is a specialized form of physical therapy that uses patented stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas where scar tissue and adhesions have formed. This method supports cellular function and promotes healing by providing targeted intervention to restore proper tissue movement and function.
It also helps restore structural balance, strengthen overall health, and speed up recovery from chronic conditions or injury complications.
At Nurtiva, we offer Graston technique applications tailored to your individual health goals—such as resolving pelvic floor pain, supporting post‒birth recovery, or enhancing intimate wellness for both men and women.
Conditions We Treat With Graston Therapy
When your body struggles to maintain optimal tissue health, even simple daily activities can feel challenging. Graston therapy can be a powerful ally in restoring function and supporting optimal healing when your systems are compromised by adhesions or restrictions.
With the right application, this treatment helps stabilize biological processes and improve how you feel day to day.
These are just a few of the many conditions soft tissue therapy can help address:
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Pain
Persistent pelvic discomfort, painful intimacy, and functional limitations can be signs that adhesions are restricting normal tissue movement. Graston therapy supports proper tissue mobility and addresses underlying restrictions.
Post-Traumatic Birth Recovery
When childbirth complications or trauma interfere with your healing process, targeted soft tissue work can help restore normal function, reduce pain, and support the natural recovery timeline.
Erectile Dysfunction and Men's Wellness
Poor circulation, tissue restrictions, or structural imbalances may contribute to intimate health challenges. Graston techniques help improve blood flow, reduce restrictions, and support optimal tissue function.
Chronic Pain and Mobility Issues
If you're experiencing persistent discomfort, limited range of motion, or difficulty with movement patterns, targeted tissue work combined with active release technique can help restore normal function and reduce pain.
Postural Dysfunction and Movement Restrictions
Poor tissue quality, tightness, or compensatory patterns may stem from underlying adhesions. Graston therapy helps promote proper tissue alignment, improve mobility, and restore balanced movement patterns.
Post-Surgical Scar Tissue Management
Whether due to previous surgeries, injuries, or medical procedures, excessive scar formation can limit function and cause discomfort. Graston treatment offers targeted intervention to restore tissue quality and movement.
Each session is designed to support your body's natural healing ability and help you feel mobile, comfortable, and rebalanced—without the need for invasive interventions.
