INSTRUMENT-ASSISTED MASSAGE
The Graston Technique® is a cutting-edge method designed to tackle musculoskeletal injuries and break down scar tissue. Using six specialized stainless steel instruments, this technique delivers deep tissue treatment without compression, allowing for effective penetration of even the toughest adhesions. This precise approach helps release restrictions and accelerate recovery, making it a powerful tool for restoring movement and function.
GRASTON: WHERE HEALING MEETS PRECISION
Graston Technique uses specialized stainless steel instruments to target and break down adhesions, scar tissue, and fibrotic tissue in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This improves tissue mobility and restores function.
The technique is highly effective in treating plantar fasciitis by targeting the fascia in the foot to release tension and reduce the inflammation that causes heel pain.
By releasing soft tissue restrictions around the joints, Graston can improve the range of motion and flexibility, particularly in areas such as the shoulder, hip, and knee joints.
Graston aids in releasing tight fascia and muscle adhesions, which can alleviate pain, restore flexibility, and reduce muscle stiffness, especially in conditions like frozen shoulder and thoracic outlet syndrome.
Graston helps reduce pain by promoting blood flow to the affected area, decreasing inflammation, and improving tissue oxygenation.
After soft tissue surgeries (e.g., rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction), Graston can help break down scar tissue, improve mobility, and restore function, speeding up rehabilitation.
Graston can be used in combination with other physiotherapy treatments, such as stretching, strengthening exercises, and manual therapy, for a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation.
DEEP TISSUE PENETRATION
The Graston Technique® instruments help clinicians pinpoint adhesions with precision. Like a stethoscope amplifies sound, these tools enhance what the hands can feel. The beveled edges reduce pressure, making treatment more comfortable for the patient.
