Understanding the Graston Technique
At HELIX, we specialize in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), with a focus on the renowned Graston Technique. This manual therapy employs specialized ergonomic tools to gently massage and scrape the skin, targeting soft tissue injuries in connective tissues, muscles, neurological tissues, and skin. Let’s delve into how our physical therapists implement this technique to enhance your healing journey.
The treatment begins with a thorough warm-up, making the scar tissue more receptive to intervention. Using stainless steel instruments, our clinicians skillfully navigate affected areas, addressing adhesions or scar tissue through gentle massage and movement. This friction induces healing, with the affected area receiving repeated movements to optimize the therapeutic process. The pressure and speed are adjusted as needed, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan. Post-treatment, the area is carefully stretched, and if necessary, cold packs are applied to alleviate any soreness.
Benefits of the Graston Technique
The Graston Technique at HELIX Performance Physical Therapy offers a range of benefits:
- Increased blood flow and volume for enhanced healing
- Breakdown of collagen cross-links
- Boost in cellular activity
- Reduction in inflammation and pain
- Improved mobility and ability to perform daily tasks
The Science Behind Graston
Scar tissue and adhesions can impede proper movement in ligaments, tendons, and muscles. This fibrous connective tissue, which tends to be less vascularized, may build up around injuries, leading to fascial restrictions. Graston, based on sound scientific principles, facilitates muscle fiber separation, releasing pain and improving functional mobility.
