Graston Technique®
Dr. Stephanie Anisko completed training modules M1, M2, and M3 in 2008 to become certified in Graston Technique®. Dr. Steph uses Graston Technique® on her patients and Canadian National and Olympic Diving team athletes with excellent results for acute and chronic injuries to reduce pain, swelling, inflammation, and scar tissue and improve range of motion.
Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
The Graston Technique® Instruments, much like a tuning fork, resonate in the clinician's hands allowing the clinician to isolate adhesions and restrictions, and treat them very precisely. Since the metal surface of the instruments does not compress as do the fat pads of the finger, deeper restrictions can be accessed and treated. When explaining the properties of the instruments, we often use the analogy of a stethoscope. Just as a stethoscope amplifies what the human ear can hear, so do the instruments increase significantly what the human hands can feel.
