What is the Graston Technique?

Graston Technique is a specialized form of instrument‒assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) used by chiropractors to effectively treat muscle and tendon dysfunction. This evidence‒based therapy utilizes uniquely designed stainless steel instruments to detect and break down scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and chronic inflammation that contribute to pain and limited mobility.
By gently gliding or applying controlled pressure with these instruments over affected areas, the Graston Technique stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting better circulation, reducing adhesions, and restoring proper function. It is commonly used for conditions such as tendonitis, muscle strains, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and post‒surgical scar tissue.
Patients often experience decreased pain and improved range of motion in just a few sessions. Whether you're an athlete recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic musculoskeletal discomfort, the Graston Technique can be an effective solution to help you move and feel better.
