What is Graston Technique®?

Graston Technique® (GT) is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions (see below for a description of fascia).

The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.

The practitioner will locate fibrotic tissue via feedback from GT tools and use the same tool to treat the dysfunctional tissue.

Graston Technique® Instruments, while enhancing the clinician’s ability to detect fascial adhesion and restrictions, have been clinically proven to achieve quicker and better outcomes in treating both acute and chronic conditions, including:

Cervical sprain/strain (neck pain)
Lumbar sprain/strain (back pain)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (wrist pain)
Plantar Fasciitis (foot pain)
Lateral Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
Medial Epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
Rotator Cuff Tendinosis (shoulder pain)
Patellofemoral Disorders (knee pain)
Achilles Tendinosis (ankle pain)
Scar Tissue
Shin Splints
Trigger Finger

Graston Technique® may help to:

Decrease overall time of treatment
Decrease overall time of treatment
Foster faster rehabilitation/recovery
