Two Palms Chiropractic & Wellness, Bradenton FL
For stubborn soft tissue

Graston & IASTM.

Some tightness lives deeper than hands can reach. Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) — including the Graston Technique — uses smooth, contoured tools to find and free up scar tissue and fascial restrictions, so tissue can heal and move again.

Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy (Graston / IASTM) in Bradenton, FL
Free up what’s stuck.

After an injury or years of overuse, soft tissue can develop adhesions and scar tissue — sticky spots where muscle and fascia no longer glide freely. IASTM uses specially shaped stainless-steel instruments to detect those restrictions and gently work through them.

The controlled treatment introduces a small, healthy stimulus that prompts the body to remodel and repair the tissue — restoring smooth movement and easing the pull that was causing pain.

Two Palms uses modern IASTM tools (Graston-style and RockBlade instruments) for conditions like tennis and golfer’s elbow, Achilles and plantar issues, and chronic muscle strains.

Honest note: a session can leave the area briefly pink or tender, and IASTM works best paired with movement and exercise — we’ll guide that part too. It’s a tool within your plan, not a magic wand.

How we practice

We’re not trying to keep you here forever.

Dr. Moore’s goal is simple: find the problem, build a plan, get you feeling well and active — then clear you to go live your life. You’re the one who feels the difference, so we check in on how you’re responding and adjust the plan around what you tell us.
A plan with an endpoint
We treat what needs treating, get you better, then clear you. You’re here as long as you need to be — and not a day longer.
Wellness on your terms
Feeling great? Go enjoy it. Occasional check-ins — monthly, or every few months — are welcome if they help you stay feeling good. Never required.
Not improving? We dig deeper
We don’t repeat the same treatment without progress. If you’re not responding, we refer out — for imaging (X‑ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound) or to the right specialist — to find out why.

Graston & IASTM FAQ

Good questions.

What is the Graston Technique?
It’s a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that uses contoured stainless-steel tools to detect and treat scar tissue and fascial restrictions in muscle and connective tissue.
Does IASTM hurt?
There can be brief tenderness or pinkness afterward, but it shouldn’t be painful. Dr. Moore adjusts the pressure to your comfort.
What does it treat?
It’s well-suited to tendinopathy (like tennis and golfer’s elbow), scar tissue, Achilles and plantar issues, and chronic muscle strains.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies with how long the restriction has been there. We reassess as you go and pair the work with movement for lasting results.
Is it the same as Graston or RockBlade?
Graston and RockBlade are both IASTM instrument systems — different tools, same idea: freeing restricted soft tissue so it can heal and move.
