How Aided Deep Tissue Therapy Works
Graston instruments are commonly used in a therapy known as Graston Technique, which is a form of manual therapy. The technique involves using specialized stainless steel instruments to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, typically within the musculoskeletal system. It is often integrated into a broader treatment approach called Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), which is a modern evolution of traditional manual therapy techniques. IASTM, including the Graston Technique, can be considered a part of Deep Tissue Therapy, as it aids in reaching deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to alleviate pain and improve function.
Conditions Treated by Graston Technique Therapy
Graston Instrument Therapy is commonly used for treating a range of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. Some of the ailments that can be effectively treated with this technique include:
- Chronic and acute soft tissue injuries
- Tendinitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Scar tissue
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Muscle strains
- IT band syndrome
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

A Natural and Holistic Healer in Chiropractic and Graston Therapy
Embracing a role as a holistic healer in chiropractic and Graston Instrument Therapy, I focus on treating each patient with a comprehensive approach that encompasses physical wellness, mental health, and spiritual balance. Imbalances in these areas can significantly impact overall health.
This holistic perspective is crucial in chiropractic care and Graston therapy, allowing for a deeper understanding of patient needs.
