What is Graston Technique® and How Does It Work?

Graston Technique® is an advanced, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization designed to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This non-invasive therapy utilizes specialized tools to help clinicians target affected areas, improving mobility, reducing pain, and accelerating healing. Whether you’re dealing with chronic conditions, acute injuries, or post-surgical rehabilitation, Graston Technique® has proven to be effective in enhancing the body’s natural recovery process.

The Benefits of Graston Technique®

1. Effective Scar Tissue Breakdown
   Scar tissue can form due to injury, surgery, or repetitive stress, leading to stiffness, pain, and decreased range of motion. Graston Technique® targets and breaks down these tough adhesions, helping tissues heal and restore normal function.
   
   

2. Enhanced Blood Flow and Healing
   The technique promotes increased blood flow to the affected area, which enhances tissue healing and recovery time. By stimulating circulation, it helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues, speeding up the recovery process.
   
   

3. Improved Flexibility and Mobility
   Graston Technique® is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from restricted movement due to muscle tightness or fascia-related conditions. The therapy works to release tension, improve flexibility, and increase joint mobility, allowing patients to regain functional movement.
   
   

4. Relieves Chronic Pain and Muscle Tension
   Graston Technique® is an excellent solution for individuals with long-term muscle pain, especially in the back, shoulders, and knees. It targets deep muscle tissues to reduce pain and discomfort caused by chronic tension or injury.

How Graston Technique® Helps with Common Conditions

• Tendonitis: Whether from sports or repetitive motions, tendonitis can cause long-lasting pain. Graston Technique® helps break down the adhesions that restrict the tendons, leading to pain relief and faster healing.

• Plantar Fasciitis: For those suffering from heel pain, Graston Technique® provides effective relief by targeting the fascia and promoting natural tissue repair.

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Graston Technique® helps release tension in the forearm and wrist, alleviating the pain and discomfort associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.

• Muscle Strains and Sprains: Strained muscles can benefit from Graston Technique® as it encourages healing by restoring proper blood flow and breaking down scar tissue.
