Graston Technique in Morley
The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilisation. The instruments are used with a particular form of massage to help the practitioner identify and break down areas of scar tissue that restrict movement. Manipulating the fascia in this way may also facilitate soft tissue healing as well as lessen pain and increase range of motion.
How It Works
Special stainless steel instruments are “scraped” over the skin to help break up scar tissue and adhesions in the muscles and fascia. They’re curved to be able to mould to the shape of your body, and because they’re steel, they are able to apply more pressure than a regular massage. This makes Graston Technique very efficient in helping resolve certain types of soft tissue problems. In addition, the process can help to reduce or eliminate inflammation in the area. When inflammation is reduced, more healing nutrients can flow into the tissues, promoting healing.
