Graston Technique
EACH PATIENT WILL HAVE THEIR OWN CUSTOMIZED PLAN OF CARE BASED ON THEIR IMPAIRMENTS, DEFICITS, AND GOALS TO RETURN TO NORMAL ACTIVITY
HOW GRASTON WORKS
The Graston Technique is an evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). It allows our clinicians to effectively address scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and range of motion issues. Each patient will have their own customized plan of care based on their impairments, deficits, and goals to return to normal activity.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF GRASTON
Graston is highly effective for resolving chronic inflammation and improving flexibility. It aims to break down collagen cross-links and stretch connective tissue and muscle fibers. The benefits include accelerated recovery time, reduced need for anti-inflammatory medication, and permanent resolution of chronic conditions. Athletes undergoing Graston therapy often return to their sport with improved performance and a reduced risk of re-injury.
GRASTON FREQUENCY
The suggested frequency for the Graston Technique is highly individualized, depending on the nature and severity of the soft tissue condition. Patients typically undergo sessions 1-2 times a week. It is always combined with therapeutic exercise to ensure the newly mobilized tissue is properly strengthened and integrated into functional movement patterns.
