The Graston
Technique uses a
stainless-steel instrument and special massage method to identify areas
of muscle adhesion, or scar-like tissue, that can improve the blood supply.
A sports
physiotherapist provider uses the instrument and massage in combination to
stretch and relax the surrounding muscle tissues.
IASTM is also focused on bringing toxins and excessive heat
to be released at the surface of the body. The Graston techniques is highly
effective in releasing toxins form the deeper cellular cells, whilst promoting soft
tissue healing.
Clinical research has been shown to have a relatively high
success rate for patients with chronic pain and acute pain from soft tissue
injuries, both in terms of improving the overall physical function and reducing
pain in the body.
