We wanted to refresh your memory on a soft tissue treatment technique called Graston. Our team at Rehab Dynamics utilizes the Graston Technique in conjunction with other manual therapy.
The Graston Technique was developed by amateur athlete David Graston. He was frustrated with his success during his rehabilitation and soon began developing a number of instruments to treat his soft tissues. He began to see signs of personal recovery and began to collaborate with personnel at Ball State University and Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana. The Graston Technique and instruments were then born as a result.
The Graston Technique is described as “an innovative, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to detect and effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, as well as maintain optimal range of motion.”
