Popular in sports medicine, Graston Technique® utilizes small, specialized, stainless steel instruments and tools on soft tissue to support rehabilitation. Certified performers gently massage and scrape the skin in order to improve blood flow, reduce scar tissues, and ultimately prevent a decrease in range of motion.
This therapeutic technique plays on the general rule of thumb: ice for injuries or pain. Heat for muscle pain or stiffness. The use of cold therapy causes blood vessels to contract and reduce circulation, which decreases pain overall. Once the cold is removed, circulation is increased as veins expand. Heat therapy is used to assist circulation and heal injured tissues.
Ultrasound is used to provide deep heat to soft tissues in the body, including muscle tendons, joints and ligaments. It can increase circulation and help decrease pain.
Electrical Stimulation, or E-Stim, utilized electrical impulses that cause muscles to contract, which is why this technique is also called muscle stimulation. This practice helps to strengthen muscles, increase local blood circulation, and relax muscles. E-stim studies have also shown an increase in positive mental health after several sessions.
This natural healing practice utilizes high speed vibrations to relieve and prevent intense pains. Studies of Rapid Release Therapy shows this therapeutic technique can relax tight muscles, break down scar tissue, and release trapped nerves, which ultimately allow for increased mobility and function.
Studies show that Whole Body Vibration can decrease chronic pain, improve bone strength and improve balance control.
This therapeutic technique aims to reverse spinal disc compression by gently stretching the spine. The increase in spinal motion can help to reduce pressure on spinal nerves from a herniated disc or reduce symptoms of sciatica.
Therapeutic exercise includes various physical activities chosen for each patient specifically based on their needs and range of mobility.
