Great course and instruction. This course has put me on track to make a huge difference for my patients.

I am a very experienced Physical Therapist. Graston Technique® Is Simply A ‘slam Dunk’ Intervention. Restoring range of motion post-op; ridding athletes of chronic, nagging injuries; mobilizing scars; treating acute athletic injuries before they become chronic; and curing patients of chronic neural tingling is easy and fast.

The Graston Technique® instruments allow me to easily detect and treat soft tissue lesions that even well-trained hands cannot. I love this technique–and will use it for the rest of my career. (I have already started getting all of my therapists trained in the Graston Technique®, because I consider it a skill every excellent Orthopedic Physical Therapist must have.)

Graston Technique® allows me to place my athletes in their sport-specific positions in order to precisely isolate and release soft tissue restrictions that are interfering with their optimal movement patterns. It has been a key factor in returning both my professional and recreational athletes to the top of their game, be it track & field, golf, triathlons, or ultra running.

In my nearly thirty years of physical therapy practice, I have frequently been presented with devices that claimed to enhance my hands in applying manual techniques. As I developed my own palpation skills I thought that nothing could feel more than my hands. This is something I had often heard from other physical therapists as well.

When I attended Graston Technique® Essential training, I quickly found out that the description of the instruments and technique was accurate. The resonance of the instruments was most striking to me. I was able to locate soft tissue restrictions quickly and with precision. As good as I thought my palpation skills were, the Graston Technique® enhanced them and now I am able to help patients achieve goals in less time with less energy. The design of the instruments helps me to isolate the treatment of soft tissue lesions and progress to appropriate exercise programs. I benefited from interaction with other clinicians in discussing disease processes, dysfunction and rehabilitation protocols by completing Advanced training.

I feel that I have optimized my use of the Graston Technique®. And I am proud to say that twelve of my co-workers are now GT Certified. It is a very effective tool in my treatment of failed back syndrome, total joint replacement and foot problems. The Graston Technique® is a well-designed concept that is easily applied to evolving connective tissue research and leads to very good outcomes.

The Graston Technique® has been an excellent component to incorporate in our treatment plans. The dynamic component allows you to treat your athletes in a functional sports specific position to realistically treat their restrictions.

I have been treating patients with Graston Technique® since 2008 and it has yielded positive results in a variety of pathologies! I just became one of the proud new owners of Dynamic Physical Therapy in Charleston, WV, and we treat patients and athletes with GT daily to supplement their treatment plans. It is a staple in our clinic.

The Graston Technique® has been an instrumental tool in my treatments for the baseball athletes I work with on a daily basis. It has not only been useful in rehabilitation of injuries but also in helping athletes with enhancing their overall athletic performance. As we know soft tissue restrictions play an enormous role in movement pattern dysfunctions. Having the Graston Technique® in hand to help reduce these restrictions gives me an added advantage to combat these faulty patterns and get my athletes back to where they can perform at a high level of competition and possibly prevent overuse injuries.

Our Clinical Advisors & Instructors

Graston Technique® instructors and clinical advisors are committed to providing the highest caliber of hands-on training available, based on evidence-based research and industry best practices.

How Graston Technique® Instruments Work

Graston Technique® instruments are designed to amplify the tactile feedback that clinicians receive when assessing and treating soft tissue restrictions. Unlike traditional manual therapy, GT instruments provide a mechanical advantage, allowing clinicians to:

 

  • Detect Scar Tissue and Fascial Adhesions – The precision edges of GT instruments help identify restrictions in soft tissues that are often imperceptible to the human hand.
  • Break Down Fibrotic Tissue – Controlled microtrauma induced by the instruments stimulates a healing response, increasing fibroblast activity and collagen remodeling.
  • Enhance Blood Flow and Healing – The technique increases local vascularization, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the affected area to promote tissue regeneration.
GT 1


Application: The GT1 instrument is expertly designed for evaluating and treating soft tissue restrictions over larger surface areas. It excels in treating specific soft tissue restrictions with its specialized knobs.

Description: The GT1 features a single bevel, concave treatment edge with two convex knobs. This unique design ensures precise treatment and effective scanning of larger muscle groups.

Key Features:

  • Application: Perfect for large muscle groups, scanning, and treatment.
  • Grips: Engineered for comfortable two-handed use, providing optimal control during treatment.
  • Strokes: Versatile in its application, the GT1 supports sweeping, fanning, swiveling, and scooping strokes.

The GT1 instrument embodies the Graston Technique's commitment to quality and efficacy, offering clinicians a reliable tool for enhancing patient outcomes through superior soft tissue therapy.

Why Graston Technique® Instruments Stand Out

Graston Technique® is recognized as the gold standard in IASTM because of its scientifically designed instruments, rigorous clinical research, and standardized treatment protocols. Several key factors make these instruments uniquely effective:

Precision-Crafted Stainless Steel Instruments
Ergonomic Design for Versatility
Scientifically Proven Clinical Outcomes
Trusted by Healthcare Professionals Worldwide

Precision-Crafted Stainless Steel Instruments

GT instruments are made from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel. This material provides:

 

  • Superior Tissue Resonance – The density of stainless steel enhances the ability to detect soft tissue irregularities.
  • Hygienic and Durable Design – Non-porous stainless steel prevents contamination, ensuring easy cleaning and long-term use.

Ergonomic Design for Versatility

Each instrument is designed with specific curvatures, edges, and bevels that optimize contact with the body's anatomy. This allows for:

 

  • Targeted Treatment of Different Muscle Groups
  • Reduced Hand Fatigue for Clinicians
  • Greater Consistency and Control Over Pressure Application

Scientifically Proven Clinical Outcomes

Studies have shown that Graston Technique® improves soft tissue function by:

 

  • Reducing Pain and Improving Range of Motion – Research indicates that GT treatments lead to statistically significant improvements in pain relief and flexibility in conditions such as tendinopathy, myofascial restrictions, and post-surgical scar tissue.
  • Accelerating Recovery Time – The controlled microtrauma created by GT stimulates a localized inflammatory response, which promotes collagen synthesis and soft tissue repair.
  • Enhancing Neuromuscular Response – GT treatments help stimulate the nervous system, improving proprioception and muscle activation.

Trusted by Healthcare Professionals Worldwide

Graston Technique® has been integrated into the treatment plans of thousands of physical therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers, and occupational therapists around the world. It is trusted by:

 

  • Professional and Collegiate Sports Teams – Many elite athletic organizations use GT instruments for injury prevention and recovery.
  • Hospitals and Rehabilitation Centers – GT is incorporated into post-surgical recovery and musculoskeletal rehabilitation programs.
  • Universities and Research Institutions – Graston Technique® is frequently included in clinical research studies and physical therapy curriculums due to its proven effectiveness.
