Sports injuries are an unwanted part of Austin’s outdoor lifestyle. Playing soccer, tennis, football, golf, basketball, and let’s not forget cycling! At Austin Active Life, They seek the best treatment, or combinations of treatments to help you heal and recover fully and safely. these treatments could include the Graston Technique to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
Many injuries are treated with non-steriodal anti-inflammatory medication (over the counter “pain” medications), but do we really know how this is affecting our body? We do know these drugs have a significant negative impact on our body’s ability to heal following an injury, and approximately 18,000 deaths a year are attributed to the use of non-steriodal anti-inflammatory medication from gastrointestinal complications. The Graston Technique doesn’t use medications in the treatment of soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
At Austin Active Life, Dr. Schade and her staff use therapy that speeds up the healing time by increasing fibroblastic cells (cells that lay down new tissue). Graston Technique is a treatment used to break down scar tissue and initiate healing by increasing fibroblastic proliferation.
If you’ve had a recent sports related injury, or feel you’ve never fully recovered from an old injury, contact Austin active Life today at (512) 474-LIFE.
