About Graston Technique
We are pleased to provide patients with an innovative
and proven approach to the diagnosis and treatment of
connective soft tissue injuries — Graston Technique.
 The
Technique is performed with patented stainless-steel
instruments designed to detect and treat soft-tissue
fibrosis or chronic inflammation in order to reduce
pain and restore function.
When connective tissue, such as muscle, ligaments
or tendons become restricted or scarred, it can result
in pain, tenderness, loss of flexibility and motion.
It is not unusual to find a restriction in one part
of the body that produces pain and dysfunction in another
area, commonly known as the kinetic chain.
Hospitals, clinics, professional and university sports
teams as well as industry rely on Graston Technique
for the treatment of injuries.
Treatment by Graston Technique
Graston Technique treatment protocols may also include
the use of heat, ice and rehabilitation to restore patients
to their pre-injury level of activity.  Muscle
re-education, in addition to stretching and strengthening
exercises are employed to provide the patient with optimal
results within a minimal number of treatments. Following
and staying with the plan of treatment is critical to
achieving the clinical goals set by the clinician and
the patient. Without full commitment to treatment, a
positive outcome may not occur.
Most patients report pain reduction and improved function
within the first two treatments. Although it is not
unusual to experience some discomfort during initial
treatment, it should dramatically lessen within a short
period of time. Mild to moderate bruising may take place
during the process of breaking down old scar tissue.
During the course of treatment, daily consumption of
6-8 glasses of water, along with a diet rich in fresh
fruit and vegetables will also prove
beneficial.
Number of Graston Technique
Treatments
Factors such as age, history of the condition, occupation
and lifestyle will determine the number of times that
you will be treated. The average number of
treatments is 6 to 8. Generally treatment is performed
no more than twice a week unless the clinical circumstances
dictate otherwise.
