Graston Technique Q&A

What is the Graston Technique®?

The Graston Technique® is a specialized, hands-on therapy designed to help your muscles, tendons, and soft tissues heal more effectively. 

Your Sports Chiro & Rehab provider uses smooth, stainless steel tools to detect and treat areas of tightness, scar tissue, or restricted movement. The treatment aims to restore proper function, reduce pain, and help your body move more comfortably and efficiently. 

Unlike traditional massage, the Graston Technique targets deeper layers of tissue to address the root causes of your discomfort.

What issues can the Graston Technique address?

You might benefit from the Graston Technique if you’re dealing with ongoing muscle or joint problems, injuries, or tension that just won’t go away. 

Some common concerns it can help with include:

  • Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain
  • Tendonitis or repetitive strain injuries
  • Scar tissue from past injuries or surgery
  • Limited range of motion in joints or muscles
  • Muscle tightness that affects your daily activities or workouts

If you’ve tried stretching, exercises, or traditional therapies and still feel tight or sore, the Graston Technique could be a game-changer.

How does the Graston Technique work?

During a session at Sports Chiro & Rehab, your provider gently glides specially designed stainless steel tools over your skin. This motion detects tight spots, adhesions, or scar tissue, while also stimulating blood flow and promoting tissue healing. 

You may feel a firm pressure or a scraping sensation, but it’s carefully controlled to target the problem areas. The technique encourages your body to break up scar tissue, relax tight muscles, and restore normal movement patterns.

What results can I expect from the Graston Technique?

You should notice improvements in how your muscles feel and how your body moves after just a few sessions. 

Common benefits include:

  • Reduced pain and discomfort
  • Increased flexibility and mobility
  • Faster recovery from injuries
  • Looser, healthier soft tissues
  • Better overall function and movement

While you may have some soreness after treatment, it usually fades quickly, leaving your muscles feeling freer and more relaxed.

If tight muscles, scar tissue, or lingering pain are keeping you from moving comfortably, the Graston Technique may help.
