Graston is the best Graston is the best! I hope you guys will email us with new techniques/ videos to watch to keep us updated.

Graston Technique is top notch Graston Technique has provided excellent outcomes for many of our patients. The training in combination with the instruments makes it the treatment of choice for IASTM.

I use the Graston Technique every day I… I use the Graston Technique every day I am working in the clinic. I believe that the instruments we use matters very little compared to the philosophy of this system. It is more than simply grabbing an instrument using an instrument to mobilize the soft tissue, it's more the what, why and how. Once you can understand the concepts you can begin to apply them to your treatment plan. You can also understand when and where it is recommended to apply the treatments to get the most effective treatments with the time you have with your patients.

It depends.... It depends.... I have been through Level 1 and 2, currently "GTS". I honestly think it depends on your patient population. For your younger and more athletic populations I find it to be an effective treatment intervention. For more chronic "layered" dysfunction, chronic pain/hypersensitivity, and older de-conditioned populations do not seem to respond as well to it. I know the instructors would disagree, but like most other instructors for con-ed courses I have taken over the years, they are in Private Practice and/or in a franchised clinics that mostly treats athletes and/or more active, healthy individuals. Working for a hospital system where you see many unhealthy, deconditioned individuals, I feel that Graston is not as effective. I am still glad I have been through the training, am certified, and have the intervention in my assessment/treatment tool-box for appropriate patients.
