Graston Technique® (GT)
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Release restrictions in fascia and muscles
GT uses specially designed stainless steel instruments with unique edges and angles to glide along muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When knots or scar tissue are encountered, both the clinician and patient may sense a restriction or granular feeling.
This non-invasive technique allows the clinician to work deeply while remaining responsive to patient comfort. As the instrument moves across the area, it helps release adhered fibers. Over time, this can reduce or eliminate scar tissue, restore motion, and relieve pain, supporting healthy tissue function.
The instruments enhance what the clinician can feel, improving the ability to detect and treat soft-tissue dysfunction. Compared to hands alone, they allow for more effective identification and treatment of restrictions.
Patients typically receive 1–2 treatments per week for 4–5 weeks, with many noticing improvement by the 3rd or 4th visit. Chronic conditions may require 6–12 sessions.
