Graston Technique

After any injury, scar tissue is formed on affected muscles/tendons/ligaments. The scar tissue (adhesion) often remains for years after recovery. Scar tissue limits range of motion, and in many instances causes pain, which prevents the patient from functioning as they did before the injury. The Graston Technique is an instrument-assisted, soft tissue mobilization therapy.

Developed by an athlete, this non-invasive technique uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to help the trained physiotherapist to identify and treat areas exhibiting soft tissue adhesion/fibrosis or chronic inflammation. It is beneficial in breaking up fascial restrictions, scar tissue adhesions, and detecting areas of chronic inflammation and/or fibrosis.
