What is Graston Technique?

Graston Technique Therapy is an evidence-based form of instrument assisted (like pictured above) soft tissue mobilization.

It uses specially designed stainless-steel instruments to treat areas of soft tissue restriction. It's particularly effective for post-surgery recovery, helping to break down scar tissue and increase circulation, allowing for faster and more complete healing. Whether you’re in Ogden seeking relief from pain or recovering from a recent surgery, Graston Therapy offers a customized approach to meet your body’s needs.

In this massage modality, therapists use highly specialized tools to detect restrictions in the fascia, muscles and tendons and then break up the scar tissue and adhesions. Massage therapists often incorporate stretching to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

What to Expect during Graston Technique Therapy

If you book a short session to treat 1-2 areas, depending on the area of the body, you can come in your active wear and be treated while sitting or lying on the table. The other option is to book a Therapeutic Massage/Graston mixed session. This will be performed like a traditional-style Therapeutic Massage, adding the Graston Technique as needed.

FAQs

  • No, while some people have seen photos online of people bruised after Graston Technique Therapy, and while every body responds differently, and some bruising may occur, it does not need to hurt to be effective. The same results can be achieved with less pressure and our therapists use techniques to facilitate a comfortable experience.

  • The first tool is used to detect adhesions and scar tissue. Next, the therapist chooses the right tool to treat the affected area, promoting healing. The therapist then stretches the muscles to maximize the effectiveness of the session.

  • If you’ve had the issue for a long time, you may need up to 12 visits. If it’s a more recent problem, you could see the results you’re looking for in 2-6 treatments. Every body is different. Your therapist will be able to help you decide what is right for you.
