Graston Technique for Soft Tissue Recovery

Scar tissue and fascial restrictions can limit your movement, cause pain, and slow your recovery from injury.

When traditional massage and stretching are not enough to break down these restrictions, the Graston Technique offers a precise, effective solution.

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.

Understanding the Graston Technique

The Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that uses stainless steel instruments to assess and treat fascial restrictions and scar tissue.

Common conditions treated with Graston:

• Chronic tendonitis and overuse injuries
• Scar tissue from surgery or injury
• Plantar fasciitis
• IT band syndrome
• Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff injuries
• Post-surgical soft tissue recovery

Our physiotherapists are trained in the Graston Technique to provide safe, effective treatment as part of your recovery plan.
At Tonic Physio Milton, we use the Graston Technique to address stubborn soft tissue restrictions. Whether you are recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic overuse, we provide expert care that targets the source of your problem.

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.
If you are looking for Graston Technique treatment in Milton, Tonic Physio provides expert care with direct billing to most insurance providers.
