If you are suffering from a soft tissue injury, painful scar tissues, or adhesions limiting your movement, the Graston Technique may be the answer you’ve been searching for!
The Graston technique is a therapeutic modality and a form of manual therapy that involves instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). This technique incorporates specialized ergonomic tools that scrape the skin and underlying tissue layers including connective tissues called ‘fascia’ to treat a variety of conditions, such as:
- Subacute & chronic Lower back pain
- Headaches
- Rotator cuff tears
- Ligament sprains (MCL/LCL, AC sprain)
- Tendinopathy (lateral & medial epicondylosis, Achilles or patellar tendinopathy)
- Quadricep pain
- Tennis elbow
- Fascial syndromes (plantar fasciitis, ITB syndromes, Dupuytren’s Contracture)
- Nerve entrapment syndromes (carpal tunnel, Thoracic Outlet / TOS)
- Plantar fasciitis
Our physiotherapists and chiropractors at Momentum Health utilize an evidence-based approach to care. We assess our patients’ emotional and physical health while considering other lifestyle factors to achieve optimal care and successful recovery.

How Can The Graston Technique Help Me?
The Graston Technique is designed to break down scar tissue and relieve muscle tension, enhancing joint flexibility, speeding up healing, strengthening muscle fibers, and alleviating pain. It is particularly beneficial post-injury, where scar tissue and adhesions may have formed. Common injuries leading to adhesions include shin splints, pulled hamstrings, meniscal tears, and others. By incorporating the Graston technique, you can expect reduced pain and improved mobility.
Other benefits of the Graston Technique include:
- Reduction in inflammation
- Reduction in pain for a better quality of life
- Boost in cellular activity for good health
- Breakdown of collagen cross-links
- Increased mobility and ability to perform daily tasks
- Increased rate of volume and blood flow to affected areas to enhance healing
