Graston Technique®

Graston Technique® is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that effectively treats soft tissue (tendon, ligament, muscle and fascia) adhesions, restrictions, and scar tissue. Whether the injury is acute or chronic, Graston Technique® can benefit athletes and non-athletes alike with its unique healing properties by removing the soft tissue irritation that often is the cause that prevents injuries from healing completely. It is also an invaluable technique in treating repetitive strain or overuse injuries.


Six stainless steel, surgical-quality instruments comprise the Graston set. These instruments act like a stethoscope because of the unique ability of stainless steel to detect fascial adhesions and restrictions. Graston Technique® has been clinically proven to achieve quicker and better outcomes in treating a number of different acute and chronic injuries including:

• Achilles Tendonopathy
• Back Pain
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
• Chronic and acute sprain/strains
• De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)
• Tennis elbow
• Golfers elbow
• Neck pain
• Chronic bursitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Post-surgical scars and other traumatic scars
• Rotator cuff tendonitis
• Wrist Tendonitis
