Graston Technique

Description

The Graston Technique is similar to the Active Release Technique (link to page) in approach. Its primary goal is to quickly locate and resolve soft tissue disorders. While Active Release focuses on a hands-on approach to finding scar tissue adhesions in muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves and breaking them up through massage, the Graston Technique uses tools or assistive devices to accomplish the same benefits.

Why Break Up Scar Tissue and Adhesions

Using both the Active Release Technique and Graston Technique, your therapist is working on the same understanding that your pain and limitations are directly caused by adhesions. These techniques break up the adhesions, which immediately prompts your body’s own, natural healing mechanisms to recover. Typically, your treatment will be followed by additional exercise and possibly some modalities to boost your recovery and appropriate healing.

It should be noted that the Graston Technique can be painful as breaking up scar tissue requires force and targeted attention. But the results are quite remarkable, and you may only need to have one or a few treatments to find relief. For many patients, these are the pains they feel they’ve just got to learn to live with. At Physical Therapists NYC we don’t believe you have to live with this pain, and we’ll help you find long-term relief.

Some of the benefits you’ll get from the Graston Technique include:

• Increased rate of blood flow to the affected area for more nutrients and oxygen
• A breakdown of collagen cross-links
• Boost in cellular activity, which prompt natural recovery
• Reduction in inflammation
• Less pain
• Increased mobility
• Ability to perform daily tasks with ease
• More flexibility and stability
• Return to activities you love
