Graston Treatment

GRASTON TREATMENT

Graston is one of the most preferred techniques among myofascial release techniques. The Graston technique is performed with titanium-coated rods specially designed to suit body parts.

Graston application is applied manually by specially trained, certified physiotherapists.

With the Graston technique, it is easier to reach deep tissues and relaxation in the muscles is achieved quickly. We can briefly describe this method as soft tissue mobilization.

The effects of Graston application are visible from the first session. The pressure generated during the application of the Graston technique and the heat obtained by friction on the skin increases the elasticity and circulation of the tissue.

The Graston technique is a frequently used method in post-operative patients and athletes.

It is especially effective in resolving scar tissue formed in soft tissues, eliminating muscle shortness and returning restricted movements to their former function. It is effective in increasing the hardened muscle tissues known as Kulunç and in the treatment of posture disorders caused by this.

Additionally, the graston technique eliminates edema in the damaged area.

In Graston application, an intermediate substance (massage oil, etc.) is used to facilitate sliding between the skin and the tools.

While graston can be applied in cases such as musculoskeletal pain, trigger points, tendon problems, scar tissues, contractures, strain and sprain; The graston technique should not be applied in cases such as acute injuries, blisters on the skin and osteoporosis.

Graston application can be applied to the damaged area once every 2 days. It is recommended that each session last approximately 15-20 minutes, for a total of 5-8 sessions.
