It involves a specialized massage and skin stimulation with the use of six stainless steel instruments, specifically designed for that purpose, applied in combination with massage techniques. These specially shaped instruments are used to identify injured tissues as well as provide the treatment required to help these affected areas heal. The procedure reintroduces minor degrees of trauma to the area of injury, often causing temporary inflammation. This, in turn, benefits the injured areas by increasing the rate of blood flow into the damaged tissues, initiating and significantly aiding their healing process.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||25px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Lato||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>HOW DOES THE GRASTON TECHNIQUE WORK<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Lato||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The use of the Graston Technique by trained specialists helps to break down the scar tissue and fascia restrictions caused by the soft tissue trauma that in turn allows for significant reduction of pain experienced by the patient, as well as for a meaningful increase in the functionality of the affected areas of the body.<br \/>The Graston Technique benefits patients complaining of back muscle strain.
