Graston IASTM Midtown NYC
Care that finds the pattern, not only the painful spot.
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization for tissue quality, glide, tendon load, and recurring restriction.
Dr. Ashley Narain evaluates how the spine, joints, fascia, training history, workstation, gait, and daily load are interacting. Treatment is selected for the person in front of her, not for a generic protocol.
The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, increase strength of irritated tissues, and restore physical function with a plan that fits real New York schedules.
How Graston / IASTM works at Sinar
Instruments that find what hands can miss.
Graston Technique and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) use specially designed stainless-steel instruments to detect and treat areas of restriction in muscle, tendon, and fascia. The instruments let the provider feel adhesions and scar tissue the hands alone can miss, then work them with controlled pressure to restore glide and reduce pain.
At Sinar, IASTM is never used in isolation. Dr. Ashley pairs it with movement assessment, soft-tissue work, and rehabilitation so the change holds after the session — not just temporary relief on the table.
