Your body is replete with soft tissues that help maintain and support the various organs, muscles, and nerves in your body. However, many injuries can damage soft tissue and impair your ability to utilize certain areas of your body. The Graston Technique is an innovative treatment that can alleviate injuries that involve soft tissue damage. If you are experiencing pain in a certain area of your body, you should learn about the Graston Technique treatment that premier Wyoming physical therapy services can provide.

Graston Technique

The best Cheyenne physical therapists can effectively perform the Graston Technique. The technique entails various stainless steel instruments, each instrument varies in size and purpose, and therapy experts can use their advanced knowledge to determine which instruments would perform the function that you need. Experts can press the given instrument against your skin to detect any damaged tissue in the injured area of your body. Your therapist then moves the instrument over the surface of your skin in back-and-forth or circular motions. The rubbing of this instrument over your skin can mobilize the damaged tissue, remove the tension or toxins from the tissue, and eradicate any fascial restrictions that are causing you pain or limiting your range-of-motion. Although the Graston Technique is modern and innovative, the technique has garnered widespread popularity because the efficacy of the treatment is validated by scientific evidence and legitimized by the medical community.  

Types of Injuries

Injuries also typically entail excessive levels of scar tissue accumulating in the damaged area of your body. During your treatment sessions, your therapist can use the instruments to detect any tissue damage in the area, accurately identify the precise location of the tissue damage, and then use the instrument to relieve the pain and repair the damage. As a result, the Graston Technique can be used in many different areas of your body. The technique can help treat injuries in your neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, or ankle. The technique can also relieve diverse conditions that these areas often incur, such as sprains, strains, tears, or dislocations.
