Graston technique is a form of instrument-assisted or augmented soft tissue mobilization that enables practitioners to improve fascial restrictions and range of motion. The theory behind this technique is that by using a tool to introduce microtrauma into an area of excessive scarring and/or soft tissue fibrosis, an inflammatory response will occur.
In time, this process can reduce or eliminate the adhered fibers, restoring range of motion and eliminating the associated pain. The aim and ideal outcome of the Graston Technique is to help transform your soft tissue injury into healthy functioning tissue once again.
