Graston Technique
The Graston Technique utilizes a set of stainless steel instruments that are drawn over your skin to reduce underlying scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Since many long-standing spinal problems produce inflammation, muscle changes and fibrotic scar tissue, this approach is helpful in creating significant, long-term changes to soft tissues throughout your body.
Our Instruments
The hand instruments we use allow a deeper, more sensitive palpation and treatment of restricted tissues. Since the metal instruments do not compress like the fat pads of the fingers, deeper restrictions can be accessed and resolved. Plus, their concave/convex shapes mold to the various contours of your body for greater comfort and effectiveness.
Patient Satisfaction
Originally developed for the treatment of athletic injuries, patients report excellent results with both acute and chronic soft tissue injuries:
Decreased recovery time
Reduces need for medications
Resolves long-standing conditions
As we pull our instruments across adhesions and scar tissue, patients report a temporary tightening, then a pleasant sense of release. Repeated visits help resolve these areas of scar tissue and improved muscle tone can be restored.
Excellent results have been reported with the neuromuscular system:
- Muscles
- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Fascia
This work will often resolve a number of common health complaints:
- Headaches
- Back pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Shin splints
- Shoulder pain
- Sciatica
- Plantar fasciitis
- Knee problems
- Tennis elbow
Most of these conditions share one important common denominator: overused muscles. We use this technique because its a proven, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that helps many muscle-related conditions resolved quickly and permanently.
