We are certified Graston Technique providers.  Graston (or GT) is a well-established method of IASTM or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It utilizes smooth metal instruments to reach and attack specific muscles and areas.

When used in conjunction with other interventions, this technique helps provide pain relief, decrease scar tissue restrictions, improve recovery times and improve muscle activation. It can be applied to any soft tissue injury, including strains, sprains, tendonitis, lack of activation or just general stiffness and tightness. It is also a great way to help overcome chronic and nagging pains like repetitive muscle pulls, back pain and neck pain. 

Anyone is a candidate for this technique and is often integrated into the hands on approach at Altius.
