Graston Therapy
Find Relief with Graston Therapy in Calgary
Our chiropractors at Freedom Chiropractic, Massage and Acupuncture in Calgary employ Graston therapy to identify regions of muscular adhesion or scar-like tissue that may be addressed using a stainless-steel device and a particular massaging approach. To stretch and relax muscular tissues, a healthcare professional utilizes a combination of the device and massage. When used effectively for the right ailment, such as discomfort or limited range of motion, Graston therapy can swiftly address the issue. Many athletes use this technique to return to the field swiftly following a Graston treatment session.
The therapy's overall aims are to lessen the patient's discomfort and improve function by using a combination of:
-
Breaking down the scar tissue and fascia limitations that are often linked with soft tissue injuries.
-
Stretching connective tissue to change the structure of the soft tissue being treated to reduce constraints.
