The Graston Technique uses patented stainless steel instruments to detect and treat soft tissue dysfunction. The instruments identify fibrotic tissue restrictions by catching on them, similarly to how a stethoscope detects heart sounds. Clinicians then use the instruments to break up the scar tissue so the body can absorb it. Patients typically receive two treatments per week for 4-5 weeks, and most see benefits by the 3rd-4th treatment. The technique aims to separate collagen cross-links, stretch tissues, increase blood flow, and resolve chronic conditions. It has been shown to be effective for conditions like tendinopathies and myofascial pain syndromes.
