Graston soft tissue therapy is a advanced form of manual therapy that uses highly specialized, specifically designed, stainless steel instruments to detect and treat fascial restrictions, scar tissue, and fibrosis within the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
The Graston Technique utilizes six unique instruments, each tailored to address different areas of the body and types of soft tissue restrictions. These instruments feature rounded edges and are ergonomically designed to offer both precision and comfort during treatment. The tools vary in shape and size, allowing therapists to effectively treat both large muscle groups and smaller, more delicate areas.
By applying controlled pressure and movements with Graston certified instruments, the therapist can break down adhesions, promoting improved blood flow, reducing pain, and enhancing the body’s natural healing process.
This innovative technique is known for its efficacy in relieving chronic pain and improving mobility and can be used for treating a wide range of conditions. Some of the key advantages of Graston-certified therapy include:
- Pain Relief: By breaking down scar tissue and reducing adhesions, Graston
therapy can significantly alleviate chronic pain. - Improved Mobility: The technique helps restore normal movement patterns by reducing soft tissue restrictions.
- Enhanced Healing: Increased blood flow and reduced inflammation promote
faster recovery and tissue repair. - Versatility: Graston therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions,
including muscle “knots”, post-surgical fibrosis, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more. - Non-invasive: Graston therapy is non-invasive and poses minimal risk.
