Graston Technique in Eugene.

When scar tissue and stiffness are limiting your movement, specialized instruments target the restrictions your hands alone can’t reach.

What It Is

Precise instruments for stubborn restrictions.

The Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. Specially designed stainless steel instruments help your clinician find and treat adhesions and scar tissue in deeper layers of tissue that restrict movement.

Many people are told they just have to live with lingering tightness after an injury or surgery. Graston treatment targets those restrictions directly to reduce pain and restore more natural movement.

It’s not a stand-alone fix. Your plan pairs Graston with guided exercises, mobility drills, and strengthening so the gains in motion last.

Questions, Answered

Graston Technique, answered.

Graston uses specially designed instruments to reach deeper layers of tissue that hands alone cannot access. This allows for more precise treatment of adhesions and scar tissue.

Some patients feel mild discomfort during treatment, especially in areas of tight or scarred tissue. Relief and improved movement usually follow.

Not always. Patients on blood thinners, those who bruise easily, or people with certain skin conditions should talk with their therapist before starting treatment.
