The Graston Technique

The Graston Technique, offered at SunDragon Studios in Winnipeg, is a specialized, evidence-based approach to soft tissue therapy. This instrument-assisted method uses precise, stainless-steel tools to address a variety of conditions related to muscle, tendon, and ligament pain. By targeting and breaking down scar tissue and adhesions, the Graston Technique promotes faster recovery and pain-free movement. This therapy is particularly effective when combined with tailored therapeutic exercises to restore function and reduce chronic or acute pain.

What is the Graston Technique?

The Graston Technique is an advanced manual therapy that uses specialized, contoured instruments to perform soft tissue mobilization. These stainless-steel instruments are designed to fit the body’s contours, allowing therapists to detect and treat areas of tension, inflammation, and scar tissue with precision. By applying controlled pressure, the therapist can break up adhesions and scar tissue that restrict movement and cause pain. This method promotes tissue regeneration and improves the body’s natural healing processes, making it ideal for treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
