If you are suffering from a sports related injury, Graston Technique may be the answer for you. The Graston Technique uses a stainless steel instrument that detects and allows clinicians to break down and treat scar tissue, adhesions around muscles, tendons and ligaments and other areas affected by soft tissue damage or inflammation.
Although you may have never heard of the technique until now, it is widely used, especially by professional athletes. Typically the technique has a success in treating 75-90% of conditions. Of these patients, about 70% are athletes. The method works by actually creating inflammation as the steel is rubbed over the skin. This creates a faster break down of the tissue. A clinician can tell where the problem areas lie because healthy tissue feels smooth under the instrument whereas those that are not have a rougher, bumpier feel. Because the instrument rubs over the affected area bringing heat and blood flow, there may be minor discomfort.
