Clinical Applications
What is a Graston Technique®? Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively reduce scar tissue and fascial restrictions for less pain and increased mobility or increased range of motion.
• Decreases overall time of treatment
• Fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery
• Reduces need for anti-inflammatory medication
• Patient continues to engage in everyday activities
"soft tissue instrument assisted mobilization, which is a form of manual therapy designed to break down scar tissue and restrictions that are usually associated with some form of trauma to the soft tissue (such as a strained muscle, pulled ligament, tendon and fascia)." Thomas E. Hyde, DC
"If you are new to Graston, DO NOT BE AFRAID...IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE" actual patient testimony
