Graston Technique
The Graston Technique, utilizes specially designed instruments to massage soft tissue and break down scar adhesions. It has a focus on circulation, letting in blood flow to stimulate a histamine response for increased healing. The Graston Technique is a superficial treatment that helps with fascial release, loosening up the top layer of tissue so the underlying muscular restrictions can be more easily addressed.
