Graston Therapy
An Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manual Therapy for Pain
The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy commonly used in chiropractic care that involves the use of specialized stainless steel instruments to perform soft tissue mobilization. Chiropractors often use the Graston Technique in their practice to address soft tissue restrictions and adhesions. By applying the instruments to the skin, they can effectively break down scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and other adhesions that may be causing pain or limiting mobility.

Graston Technique Goals
The general goals of the therapy are to reduce the patient’s pain and increase function through a combination of:
- Breaking down the scar tissue and fascia restrictions that are usually associated with some form of trauma to the soft tissue (e.g., a strained muscle or a pulled ligament, tendon, or fascia).
- Reducing restrictions by stretching connective tissue in an attempt to rearrange the structure of the soft tissue being treated (e.g., muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments).
- Promoting a better healing environment for the injured soft tissue.
