We hope that you have been enjoying the warmer weather as much as we have. But perhaps you’re realizing that with extra movement, your body isn’t as fluid as it used to be. At Sports Rehab at Denver Tech, we are dedicated to providing innovative and effective therapies to aid in pain relief and promote healing. One such therapy we offer is the Graston Technique, a specialized form of manual therapy designed to address soft tissue injuries and enhance recovery.

What is the Graston Technique?

The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy used by healthcare professionals, including chiropractors, physical therapists, and athletic trainers. It involves the use of specially designed stainless steel instruments to perform soft tissue mobilization. This technique aims to address soft tissue restrictions and promote healing in the body.

Soft tissue refers to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. When these tissues become injured or develop scar tissue, it can lead to pain, reduced range of motion, and functional limitations. The Graston Technique helps break down scar tissue and adhesions, promoting the remodeling and healing of affected tissues.

How Does It Work?

During a Graston Technique session, practitioners utilize specialized stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of soft tissue dysfunction. By running the instruments over the skin, the practitioner can feel areas characterized by texture changes or the presence of scar tissue. They then apply the instruments with appropriate pressure to break down these adhesions and promote healing.

Benefits of the Graston Technique

• Pain Reduction: Soft tissue restrictions and scar tissue can cause pain and discomfort. The Graston Technique helps alleviate pain by breaking down these adhesions, reducing inflammation, and promoting blood flow to the affected area.
• Improved Range of Motion: Scar tissue and adhesions can limit joint mobility and range of motion. By addressing these issues, the Graston Technique helps improve flexibility and restore normal movement patterns.
• Faster Recovery: By targeting and treating soft tissue dysfunction, the Graston Technique can accelerate the healing process. This can be beneficial for individuals recovering from acute injuries, chronic conditions, or post-surgical rehabilitation.
