I am almost done with my right hip therapy and will be returning to them for my left next month. I highly recommend Tristar to anyone in need of PT.

This is the best Physical therapy place I have ever been to. Emily is a great therapist. Everyone in there are the nicest and most caring people. It’s always a easy relaxing feeling here. Patients and therapists laughing together. I don’t know everyone’s name yet, so I’m talking about this business as a whole. I have been there for a couple of weeks and I guarantee you will get the best care ever. I have met some of the friendliest people here. Highly recommend getting your Physical therapy here. I couldn’t walk on my left foot without limping. After 2 years of pain, I can walk on it again.

Graston Technique Specialty – Lasting Outcomes
Our excellent patient outcomes treating common mobility-limiting pathologies include:
- Targeted Pain Relief
Precisely contouring dense planes underneath the skin provides referred sensation pain relief when other approaches can’t reach the buried dysfunction. - Restored Flexibility and ROM
Realigning disorganized collagen matrices between fascial compartments allows sliding mobility to resume between muscular and connective tissues enhancing movement freedom. - Expedited Injury Healing
Meticulously breaking up scar tissue while sparking fresh blood flow to areas in need stimulates sluggish recovery for chronic issues. - Improved Biomechanical Efficiency
Releasing movement-impairing restrictions optimizes coordinated sequences, movement economy and injury resilience across sporting or repetitive occupational demands.

Graston Technique FAQs
How does Graston compare to massage therapy?
Graston uses patented tools uniquely contoured to penetrate deeper layers of tissue not reachable by hands to break up density and stimulate reflexive release across broader dysfunctional zones versus massage pressure alone.
What does getting Graston work feel like?
Patients can experience some initial discomfort over dysfunctional zones as tools break down adhesions but improved range of motion follows. Post-treatment muscle soreness occasionally occurs but resolves quickly as regeneration processes are stimulated.
When will I feel the results?
Most patients experience some level of symptomatic or functional relief immediately but certain conditions require a few repeated sessions to experience full mechanical and neurological releases. Your therapist will guide reasonable expectations.
Who shouldn’t receive Graston treatment?
Those prone to excessive bruising or taking blood thinners should take precautions with Graston. Also those with contagious skin conditions. We determine safety during consultations.
