Chronic pain and injuries can significantly impact your quality of life. At Progressive Rehab Clinic, we specialize in innovative treatment methods to alleviate pain and promote healing. Additionally, one such technique that has shown remarkable results is the Graston Technique. This advanced form of manual therapy offers a unique approach to treating soft tissue injury and chronic conditions.
What is the Graston Technique?
The Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that uses specialized stainless steel tools to detect and treat areas of scar tissue, adhesions, and inflammation. Consequently, these tools allow practitioners to precisely target and break down problematic tissues, thereby promoting increased blood flow and faster healing.
How Does the Graston Technique Work?
During a Graston Technique session, a trained therapist at Progressive Rehab Clinic will use specially designed instruments to scan the affected area. The tools help identify areas of restricted movement and fibrosis. Once these areas are located, the therapist uses the instruments to apply pressure and perform various strokes, effectively breaking down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.

- Improved Mobility: By breaking down scar tissue and adhesions, the Technique helps restore normal movement patterns, enhancing flexibility and range of motion.
- Accelerated Recovery: Increased blood flow and cellular activity in the treated area promote faster healing, making it an excellent choice for post-surgical recovery and Soft tissue injury.
