What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial Release Therapy focuses on treating the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, joints, and nerves. When fascia becomes restricted due to injury, inflammation, or repetitive stress, it can lead to:

• Chronic muscle tightness
• Pain that doesn’t respond to rest
• Decreased range of motion
• Compensation injuries
• Persistent trigger points

By releasing these restrictions, the body can move better, heal faster, and function more efficiently.

What Is the Graston Technique?

The Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted myofascial release (IASTM) that uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to:

• Detect scar tissue and fascial adhesions
• Break down fibrotic tissue safely
• Improve blood flow and healing response
• Restore normal tissue movement

Unlike generic scraping or massage tools, Graston Technique requires advanced training and certification — which ensures precise treatment without unnecessary discomfort.

At Riverbend Family Chiropractic, Graston is integrated into a full corrective care plan, not used as a one-size-fits-all therapy.

Conditions Treated With Myofascial Release & Graston

This therapy is highly effective for both acute injuries and chronic conditions, including:

• Neck and shoulder pain
• Low back pain
• Sciatica
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis elbow & golfer’s elbow
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• IT band syndrome

If you’ve been told “just rest it” — but it’s not improving — restricted fascia may be the reason.

What Does Graston Therapy Feel Like?

Most patients describe Graston as:

• A deep, targeted pressure
• Mild discomfort during treatment
• Followed by significant relief and improved movement

Some temporary redness or soreness is normal and actually indicates increased circulation and healing response.

Treatment sessions are quick, efficient, and results-driven.
