Graston Technique® 

Graston Technique (GT) incorporates the use of six specifically designed stainless steel instruments to aid the clinician in the detection and treatment of soft tissue dysfunction. GT is an evidence-based method of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that is combined with exercises to improve musculoskeletal function.

How do the instruments work?

The GT instruments detect and amplify the feel of soft tissue restrictions to the hands, like how the stethoscope amplifies the sound of a heartbeat.
