Graston Technique is an innovative and proven approach to the diagnosis and treatment
of connective soft tissue injuries. 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 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.
The Graston Technique has proven to
be a quick and effective treatment for all kinds of soft tissue pain including:
♦
Elbow Pain (Tennis/Golfer's Elbow)

♦Hand Pain/ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
♦
