How It Works
- The clinician chooses a special stainless steel tool that best fits the area on the body and the condition to be treated.
- Massage cream is applied to the area for smoother movement of the tool on the skin.
- The clinician uses the tool to gently explore the area, identifying spots of tension or discomfort.
- The tool helps to highlight areas of tightness or trouble, allowing both clinician and patient to feel where issues lie during the treatment.
What to Expect
- Your therapist will incorporate Graston Technique Therapy into a specialized treatment plan consisting of therapeutic exercise and stretching to restore mobility and function of muscles.
- Moderate redness to the treatment area due to increased blood flow is common. Side effects could include mild soreness and bruising.
