Graston
Technique®
Graston Technique® is a unique, evidence-based form of
instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that
enables clinicians to effectively address scar tissue, fascial
restrictions and range of motion through comprehensive
training, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
​
Why Use Graston Technique®?
​
The unique protocol uses specially designed stainless steel
instruments, along with appropriate therapeutic exercises,
to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting
soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. The instruments
also are used diagnostically to follow the kinetic chain, to
locate and treat the cause of the symptom as well as the
specific area of pain. GT is also frequently used as an
effective protocol to maintain range of motion.
