Reasons for Using Graston Tools
Graston Technique (GT) is an evidence-based soft tissue mobilization instrument that helps improve:
- Pain
- Decrease inflammation
- Reduce soft tissue lesions
- Skin restrictions
Graston Technique
This can result in improved pain free motion. Graston Technique is unlike other Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) products, as it uses 6 stainless-steel instruments. The tools have unique treatment edges and angles to break down scar tissue and promote blood flood. Your therapist will use the tools with an emollient moisturizer to reduce friction and increase the glide of the instrument. When Graston tools are part of your therapy with exercises and stretching, it can result in pain-free motion and function.
