Graston Technique for Soft Tissue Recovery
Scar tissue and fascial restrictions can limit your movement, cause pain, and slow your recovery from injury.

At Tonic Physio in Milton, our Graston Technique service uses specialized instruments to detect and treat soft tissue dysfunction, helping you recover faster and move more freely.

How the Graston Technique Works
The Graston Technique uses specialized instruments to detect and break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue.
Our treatment includes:
• Instrument-Assisted Assessment: The instruments help detect areas of restriction and scar tissue that are not easily felt by hand.
• Soft Tissue Mobilization: Controlled pressure is applied to break down restrictions and promote tissue healing.
• Combined Treatment: Graston is used alongside stretching, strengthening, and other physiotherapy techniques for comprehensive care.
We select the treatment areas based on your assessment and goals.

Read What Our Patients Say About Us
marniermoment 1964Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife put out a plea on Facebook after watching me go through decades of pain due to plantar fasciitis. Tonic kept coming up. I booked an appointment and saw Brenda. What struck me first is her warmth and caring nature. She asked question after question to try and get to the bottom of what my issue is. After the agonizing but rewarding first treatment, she gave me instructions. Stretches, ice/hot bath for my feet, etc. It has only been a few weeks and I already feel better than I have felt in probably 20 years. The only disappointment is that I wasted years and hundreds of dollars at other clinics who basically went through the motions and said "see you next week". Brenda truly cares about her patients. She takes the time and puts in the work. The staff at Tonic are amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. I am so glad to finally find a place that can make me feel good again.

We have been fortunate to have Brenda Azzopardi as our son's physiotherapist since he was three years old, and she has been an incredible support to our family over the years. She is not only highly skilled and professional but also warm, friendly, and truly dedicated to her patients. Brenda knows how to motivate our son, making therapy engaging while ensuring he keeps up with his exercises at home. Her guidance and encouragement have made a significant difference in his progress. We are deeply grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and knowledgeable physiotherapist.Posted on Google rating score: 4.9 of 5,
