Graston Technique

Graston Technique

Dr. Thomas utilizes Graston Technique as a tool to deal with her patients soft tissue injuries.  Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. The technique allows a clinician to effectively break down scar tissue and facial  restrictions. Dr. Thomas use specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect specific treatment areas that indicate a build up of soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.  Through the use of these instruments she is able to separate and breaks down collagen cross-links within the muscle, which allows the connective tissue and muscle fibers to stretch. This process promotes tissue healing and ultimately speeds up a patients recovery time.
