Understanding the Technique
What Is Graston Technique?
Graston Technique is a form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) used to help treat soft tissue restrictions, muscle tightness, scar tissue, and movement limitations.
Using specialized stainless steel instruments, Graston Technique allows your physical therapist to detect areas of tissue restriction and apply targeted treatment to the affected muscles, tendons, fascia, and connective tissue.
