The **Graston Technique** is a specialized form of manual therapy that uses **contoured stainless steel tools** to find and break up scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Think of it as a deeper, more precise version of massage that helps restart the healing process in injured or overworked soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and ligaments).
# # **10 Conditions It Can Treat**
Because the technique is designed to mobilize soft tissue and improve blood flow, it is effective for a wide range of chronic and acute issues:
1. **Plantar Fasciitis:** Breaking up adhesions in the arch of the foot to reduce first step in the morning pain.

3. **Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:** Reducing tension and inflammation around the wrist and hand.
4. **Achilles Tendinosis:** Mobilizing the thick tendon at the back of the ankle to improve flexibility and reduce pain.
5. **IT Band Syndrome:** Addressing the tightness along the outside of the thigh common in runners and cyclists.
6. **Rotator Cuff Tendinitis:** Helping to restore range of motion in the shoulder by clearing restrictions in the rotator cuff muscles.
7. **Shin Splints:** Reducing inflammation and fascial pulling along the tibia (shin bone).
8. **Post-Surgical Scar Tissue:** Smoothing out tethered scars from surgeries (like a knee replacement or C-section) to improve movement.
9. **Chronic Neck Pain:** Relieving Tech Neck and tension headaches caused by tight upper traps and neck stabilizers.
