Pain Relief and Healing with the Graston Technique

If you have never heard of Graston Technique, we want to help you understand exactly what it is and how it helps your body when it comes to your pain relief and healing. To begin with we will compare it to something that you may be more familiar with, which is hands on soft tissue mobilization. Many people are familiar with this type of therapy. Graston Technique is a modification of this, instead of achieving the desired results through hands, an instrument designed specifically for this is used because of its ability to control the amount of micro-trauma to the area of excessive scar and soft tissue fibrosis. In doing this, it will stimulate an inflammatory response that will get the healing process started.

When working on the desired spot on the body, it increases the rate and amount of blood flow to that specific location. With more blood flow to the desired area, it will help heal the injury. Additionally, it will help to breakdown the scar tissue that has formed and the fascia restrictions that have been caused by trauma to the soft tissue. In doing this, we can help reduce any pain they may have as well as increase the function.

Our team is fully qualified to be able to help make sure that your injury is improving when it comes to your pain and mobility that you have. Our patients have seen much improvement when it comes to both pain and mobility.
