Graston Technique
The Graston Technique is an innovative and effective manual therapy method designed to treat soft tissue injuries and improve overall function. This technique uses specialized stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of soft tissue dysfunction, including muscle, tendon, and ligament issues.
What to Expect: During a Graston Technique session, your physical therapist will use these stainless steel instruments to gently scrape and glide over affected areas of your body. This process helps to break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. The treatment may produce a temporary sensation of discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated and leads to significant improvements in function and mobility.
Benefits:
- Improved Mobility: Enhances range of motion and flexibility by addressing restrictions in the soft tissues.
- Pain Reduction: Helps to alleviate chronic pain and discomfort associated with soft tissue injuries.
- Faster Healing: Stimulates the body’s repair mechanisms to promote quicker recovery from injuries.
- Enhanced Function: Restores normal movement patterns and improves overall functional abilities.
Who Can Benefit: The Graston Technique is particularly effective for individuals with conditions such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and other soft tissue injuries. It is suitable for athletes, workers, and anyone dealing with chronic pain or functional limitations.
