IASTM & Graston Therapy St Albans
Unlock elite-level recovery with Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM), commonly referred to as Graston Therapy. Used by professional athletes worldwide, this specialised technique targets chronic tension and scar tissue that traditional massage simply cannot reach.
What is IASTM / Graston Therapy?
IASTM involve the use of medical-grade stainless steel tools to specifically target fascial restrictions and scar tissue, much like the world-renowned Graston Technique. By applying controlled friction to the skin, we initiate a localised inflammatory response that stimulates the body's natural healing process, breaking down adhesions and restoring fluid movement to the muscles.
Why Choose Graston-Style IASTM?
Break Down Scar Tissue
Ideal for post-surgery recovery or old sports injuries where "knots" have become permanent fixtures in your movement.
Instant Mobility
Experience an immediate increase in range of motion. Perfect for lifters, runners, and those with sedentary office jobs.
Boost Circulation
The mobilisation action draws fresh, oxygenated blood to the area, accelerating the repair of damaged soft tissue.
The Herts Cupping Edge: Hybrid Recovery
While many clinics offer one or the other, we are the only centre in St Albans that specialises in Hybrid Recovery. By combining IASTM (to break down tension) with Hijama (to remove metabolic waste), we provide a "deep clean" for your muscular system that is unparalleled in traditional therapy.
