The Graston Technique®, originally developed by athletes, is changing the way clinicians, including athletic trainers, chiropractors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and patients view treatment of acute and chronic soft tissue injuries.
The Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
Graston Technique® is successful in effectively treating all soft tissue conditions, whether they are chronic or acute and post surgical. The Graston Technique® offers many advantages to the patient such as:
Separates and breaks down collagen cross-links, and splays and stretches connective tissue and muscle fibers
Increases skin temperature
Facilitates reflex changes in the chronic muscle holding pattern
Alters spinal reflux activity (facilitated segment)
Increases the rate and amount of blood flow to and from the area
Increases cellular activity in the region, including fibroblasts and mast cells
Increases histamine response secondary to mast cell activity
Decreases overall time of treatment
Fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery
Resolves many chronic conditions
Graston Technique® currently is utilized by more than 160 major professional and amateur sports organizations. Trainers and clinicians at these organizations treat elite athletes every day and count on GT to get them injury free to compete at the highest level. They include: Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans,
Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New York Giants, St. Louis Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins, Champions Tour, PGA Tour, US Olympic Training Centers, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Utah Jazz, Miami Heat, Bostin Celtics, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers
