Graston Technique® is a specialized form of manual therapy that uses carefully designed stainless-steel instruments to help detect and treat areas of soft tissue restriction or scar tissue. By gently working over the affected muscles and connective tissues, it aims to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing process following injury or overuse.
Changing the way soft tissue injuries are treated, Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.
The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. This form of myofascial/scar tissue treatment enables the practitioners to decrease the overall time of treatment, foster faster rehabilitation, recovery, and this treatment also reduces the need for anti-inflammation medication.
Originally developed by athletes, Graston Technique® is an interdisciplinary treatment used by more than 17,500 clinicians worldwide from physical, occupational therapists, chiropractors, to athletic trainers.
