Graston Technique

The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization that uses stainless steel tools to perform muscle mobilizations.

The therapy is designed to help identify areas of restriction and break up scar tissue.

The general goals of the therapy are to reduce the patient's pain and increase function through a combination of:

• Breaking down the scar tissue and fascia restrictions that are usually associated with some form of trauma to the soft tissue.
• Reduce restrictions by stretching connective tissue to rearrange the structure of the soft tissue being treated (e.g., muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments).
• Speed up recovery time
