The Graston Technique

"Changing the way soft tissue injuries are treated"
Graston Technique® (GT) is an instrument-based technique that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and soft tissue restrictions. GT utilizes six stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat soft tissue injuries.

Graston Technique® is a treatment used by more than 11,000 clinicians worldwide—including physical and occupational therapists, hand therapists, chiropractors, and athletic trainers.  GT is utilized by numerous professional and amateur sports teams including:

  • MLB: Milwaukee Brewers
  • NBA: Milwaukee Bucks
  • NCAA: University of Wisconsin & Marquette University Athletic Teams
  • Golf: PGA Tour & Champions Tour
  • Soccer: US Soccer Team
  • Olympic: US Olympic Team
  • Other: NFL and NHL Teams
Graston Technique® offers many advantages to the patient such as:
  1. Decreasing the overall frequency and length of treatment
  2. Promoting faster rehabilitation and recovery
  3. Reducing the need for anti-inflammatory medication
  4. Resolving scar tissue and chronic soft tissue injuries previously considered permanent
Graston Technique® has been clinically proven to achieve quicker and better outcomes in treating soft tissue conditions that are new, chronic, or post-surgical, including:
  • Neck Sprain-Strain (neck)
  • Low Back Sprain-Strain (back)
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (wrist)
