Graston Technique in Toronto

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Treatment

Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy that uses specialized stainless steel instruments to assess and treat areas of restricted soft tissue.

It can be incorporated into chiropractic care when muscles, tendons or other soft tissues are contributing to pain or limited movement.
