What Can I Expect during and after Treatment?

Since the physical therapist is working with scar tissue when they perform the Graston Technique, it's common and normal to experience discomfort with this treatment. This discomfort should not cause you undue pain. Many people even find that the treatment feels good. Practitioners sometimes use ultrasound or heat therapy before proceeding with the Graston Technique to warm up the soft tissue and make it easier to work with. The physical therapist will spend around 30 to 60 seconds on each area they are treating. As such, sessions typically last between two to ten minutes.

Many patients find that they feel much better after receiving the Graston Technique than before, much in the same way that you feel much better after a regular massage. Still, some redness and mild bruising may occur in the treated areas, as the technique does inflict mild trauma to the scar tissue for healing promotion purposes. This redness and mild bruising are normal and should dissipate within a couple of days. Your physical therapist will provide instructions for how to ease any redness, bruising, or discomfort after your session with them.
