The Graston Technique\u00ae incorporates a patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively detect and treat scar tissue and restrictions that affect normal function.<\/p>\n

Often used in conjunction with\u00a0Active Release Technique\u00ae (ART)<\/a>, Graston Technique\u00ae is a relatively new form of soft tissue mobilization that uses specifically designed stainless steel instruments to help the practitioner identify and break down the scar tissue.<\/p>\n

Scar tissue limits range of motion, and in many instances causes pain, which prevents the patient from functioning as he or she did before the injury.<\/p>\n

How is scar tissue different from other tissue?<\/h4>\n

When viewed under a microscope, normal tissue can take a couple of different fashions: dense, regular elongated fibers running in the same direction, such as tendons and ligaments; or dense, irregular and loose with fibers running in multiple directions. In either instance, when tissue is damaged it will heal in a haphazard pattern\u2013or scarring\u2013that results in a restricted range of motion and, very often, pain.<\/p>\n

The Graston Technique\u00ae instruments are used to enhance the clinician\u2019s ability to detect adhesions, scar tissue or restrictions in the affected areas. Skilled clinicians use the stainless steel instruments to comb over and \u201ccatch\u201d on fibrotic tissue, which immediately identifies the areas of restriction. Once the tissue has been identified, the instruments are used to break up the scar tissue so it can be absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n

Yes. Most patients are not disabled and continue to perform their regular functions at home or work. Graston Technique\u00ae gives back the control that is often lost when injury strikes.<\/p>\n

The concept of cross fiber massage is not new. Graston Technique\u00ae is grounded in the works of English orthopedist James Cyriax. The use of our specially designed instruments and protocol is new. Graston Technique\u00ae has become standard protocol in universities and hospital-based outpatient facilities, industrial on-site treatment settings such as Indiana University and the University of Michigan. The technique is also being used at industrial settings and by NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball trainers.<\/p>\n
