Target Scar Tissue. Restore Motion. Speed Up Recovery.
At Park Hill Chiropractic in Fort Worth, Dr. Seth Elliot offers Graston Therapy—an innovative soft tissue technique that uses specialized instruments to detect and break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This evidence-based treatment helps accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore proper movement patterns—especially after injuries or repetitive stress.
What Is Graston Therapy?
Graston Therapy is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). It uses precision-crafted stainless steel tools to gently glide over the skin, allowing Dr. Elliot to locate areas of dysfunction beneath the surface—such as adhesions, scar tissue, or fibrotic buildup.
Once identified, the tools are used to break up these restrictions and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
