Graston® technique
Experience the Healing Benefits of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (“IASTM”) modality
The Graston® Technique instruments, while enhancing the clinician's ability to detect and address fascial adhesions and restrictions, have been clinically proven to achieve quicker and better outcomes in treating both acute and chronic conditions, including:
Achilles Tendinitis/osis (ankle pain)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (wrist pain)
Cervical Sprain/Strain (neck pain)
Fibromyalgia
Lateral Epicondylitis/osis (tennis elbow)
Lumbar Sprain/Strain (back pain)
Medial Epicondylitis/osis (golfer's elbow)
Patellofemoral Disorders (knee pain)
Plantar Fasciitis/osis (foot pain)
Rotator Cuff Tendinitis/osis (shoulder pain)
Scar Tissue
Shin Splints
Trigger Finger
Women’s Health (post-mastectomy and Caesarean scarring)
Graston® Technique therapy is a unique, evidence-based, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (“IASTM”) modality, which involves specific manual therapy applications utilizing appropriate instruments combined with exercise therapy.
Graston® Technique instrument application is one part of an overall sequence of treatment. Comprehensive treatment with the Graston® Technique must include a stretching and strengthening program. Stretching and strengthening exercises are vital to the success of the treatment program. We believe there is no benefit of releasing restrictions without an emphasis on exercise. Exercise helps to prevent the tissues from becoming re-restricted once they are released. Your therapist will provide stretches and strengthening exercises to continue at home.
Early research has indicated that heavy pressure was necessary to achieve a treatment effect. We have discovered that this is no longer necessary. Heavy pressure can damage healthy tissue. This is never the goal. Pressure is geared towards patient tolerance. Cryotherapy before treatment may help reduce discomfort. Follow with cryotherapy to reduce discomfort and bruising.

Graston® Technique Home Care Instructions:
Managing Possible Side Effects:
Bruising
The instruments used in Graston Technique® are highly effective in treating scar tissue, adhesions and
other soft tissue restrictions that may produce pain and restricted motion. Since the involved tissue binds
with normal tissue, it develops a blood supply. As restrictions are released from healthy tissue, bruising
may occur. The larger the adhesion released, the greater the bruise. Some areas of the body that have a
very rich blood supply may produce more bruising. Bruising can be controlled with the use of ice.
Soreness
An increase in soreness and discomfort is not uncommon after the first treatment session and is most
often a positive sign that restrictions have been released. Soreness is usually minimized after 48-72
hours and can be controlled with ice and stretching.
Icing
When icing is recommended:
_____ Use a cold pack for more generalized areas (____ minutes; ____ times a day).
Water Intake
It is recommended that you drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day. Adequate hydration is
important to promote proper healing.
