Myofascial Scraping in Jacksonville
Myofascial scraping and IASTM in Jacksonville, FL. Graston-style technique to break down scar tissue, fascial adhesions, and chronic restrictions that don't respond to stretching or massage.
Myofascial scraping is a soft tissue technique that uses a smooth stainless steel instrument to detect and treat areas of scar tissue and fascial restrictions in the body. Also known as Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) or the Graston Technique, it promotes circulation, accelerates healing, and restores flexibility.
How It Works
The instrument is used to detect restrictions in the fascia: a web of connective tissue surrounding muscles. When the instrument glides over scar tissue or adhesions, it creates a controlled micro-inflammatory response that triggers the body to reabsorb the scar tissue and replace it with healthy, organized fibers.
- Breaks down chronic scar tissue and adhesions
- Improves local circulation to the treated area
- Restores normal range of motion
- Reduces pain and muscle tightness
- Accelerates return to sport
Conditions Treated
IT Band Syndrome
Common in runners: scraping breaks down the restrictive tissue along the iliotibial band to restore pain-free movement.
Post-Surgical Scarring
Breaks down surgical scar tissue that limits range of motion and causes pain during recovery.
Plantar Fasciitis
Addresses the chronic fascial thickening in the bottom of the foot that causes persistent heel pain.
Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
Breaks down the degenerative tissue at the tendon insertion for lasting forearm and elbow pain relief.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Restores healthy collagen organization to the Achilles tendon, reducing stiffness and pain.
Shoulder Impingement
Addresses restrictions in the rotator cuff and surrounding fascia to improve shoulder mechanics.
