What is the Graston Technique?
The Graston Technique is a leading global instrument-assisted soft tissue treatment therapy and the perfect complement to chiropractic care. Graston instruments treat adhesions and scar tissue that builds up in our muscles, tendons and ligaments. These areas of buildup are often the result of accident, injury or overuse. If left untreated scar tissue can contribute to chronic pain, inflammation, misalignment and decreased range of motion.
Graston soft tissue therapy can increase blood flow to the affected areas, prompting the body’s natural healing abilities. It has also been found to repair, realign and return scar tissue to its normal functional length.
The top choice for top athletes
The Graston Technique is used by an increasing number of professional athletes around the world as a method of accelerating recovery. Athlete or not, if you have adhesions or scar tissue, we can discuss if soft tissue treatment will help your body heal.
