Graston Technique®
Graston Technique® is an instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization method that is used by chiropractors and sports injury specialists to break up scar tissue and mobilize soft tissue restrictions.
Soft tissue or fascia consists of the layers of connective tissue that surrounds and separates the various muscles and organs of the body. You can think of fascia as the white fuzz inside an orange that serves to separate the peel from the fruit and the fruit slices from each other. The fascia in our bodies separates our skin from the muscles, and our muscles and organs from each other. It also surrounds the nerves and blood vessels that run through our muscles and organs.
Active Myofascial Release
The sports chiropractors at Elite Sport & Spine have training in many soft tissue release techniques including Active Release Technique® and trigger point release. Our myofascial release protocols combine deep massage with stretching to provide exceptional relief from muscle pain. The practitioner applies tension to a muscle as it is moved through a range of motion from a shortened to a stretched position. Myofascial release is used to break up adhesions and restore proper function to muscles.
Our doctors have extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of running related injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, IT band syndrome, hamstring strains, piriformis syndrome, and shin splints, as well as many other sports injury conditions.
