Many People in the U.S are Affected Yearly by Some Type of Musculoskeletal Impairment
Whether it’s low back pain, sprains, or other issues, it makes them miss days of work, time with friends and loved ones, and cuts short or even eliminates many of their favorite activities. So what are some ways to get on the road to recovery and live life again? The Graston Technique may be your answer!
The Graston Technique is a form of advanced manual therapy that has become very successful in just a few years. From bodybuilders to runners, to people who had a surgery or other types of injury, this technique helps all.
The Graston technique has demonstrated through multiple studies its effects. It’s the reason why many practitioners – such as chiropractors, physical and occupational therapists, and athletic trainers – have implemented it into their skillsets. This technique has helped their patients to gain back their mobility, decrease pain, and increase blood flow to the area.
So, What is the Graston technique?
Graston uses 6 different tools, which allows the practitioner to get deeper into the fascia tissue (the tissue that encases your muscles) and break down any knots or scar tissue that it has formed. It helps to properly align specific areas, which helps restore joint movement, and consequently will decrease any pain.
Graston tools were designed by athletes and were first used with them. Over the years, practitioners have seen the benefits of using Graston and they are starting to use it in their practices!
There is much research-based cases that shows that the Graston technique benefits:
-Plantar fasciitis
-Achilles repair
-knee/shoulder surgeries
-low back pain
-IT band syndrome
-And much more!
