Benefits of Graston

The primary goal of the Graston Technique is to promote healing, alleviate pain, and improve the functionality of injured or restricted tissues. By applying controlled pressure with the instruments, the practitioner aims to break down scar tissue, adhesions, or fascial restrictions that may have developed due to trauma, surgery, or repetitive strain.
The scraping motion of the instruments creates a gentle stress on the affected tissues, stimulating increased blood flow to the area. This can promote the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the injured tissue while aiding in the removal of metabolic waste products.

Common uses for Graston Technique:

  • Tendinopathies

  • Myofascial Pain Syndromes

  • Sprains & Strains
