GT is widely used amongst many disciplines. Hospitals, industrial therapists, outpatient centers, as well as, sports teams of any level rely on Graston to get better fast..
GT treatment protocols may include warm-up activities, the use of heat, ice, therapeutic taping and rehabilitation exercises to help patients reach their treatment goals. GT patients may experience some discomfort during treatment, however if full commitment is given GT may dramatically lessen the injury time of the patient. Some light bruising may take place during the process of breaking down old scar tissue. This is a normal occurrence in some treatment of specific injuries. Anti-inflammatory diets and increasing water consumption is recommended to speed the healing process.
