Graston Technique
Instrument-assisted soft tissue care, used with a plan.
Graston Technique can support treatment for scar tissue, tendon irritation, soft tissue restriction, and movement sensitivity when it fits the clinical picture.
What this can help with
- Scar tissue or adhesions
- Tendon irritation or chronic tightness
- Soft tissue restriction after injury
- Post-surgical stiffness when cleared
- Plantar fascia, Achilles, or calf tightness
- Shoulder, hip, or back soft tissue sensitivity
- Movement that feels restricted by tissue pull
- Plateau despite stretching or strengthening
The tool is not the treatment. The plan is.
Graston Technique uses stainless-steel instruments to assist soft tissue treatment. At Boon, it is never used as a standalone trick. It is paired with assessment, movement retraining, and strengthening so the tissue has a reason to keep adapting.
Sometimes the issue is not just weakness or stiffness. It is tissue that feels bound down, irritated, or slow to adapt after strain, scar formation, repetitive loading, or a plateau that has not changed with stretching alone.
When it is the right fit, instrument-assisted soft tissue work can help ease restriction, reduce pain sensitivity, and make movement feel smoother again. The benefit comes from pairing the tissue change with better loading and movement afterward.
Questions patients ask
Does Graston Technique hurt?
It should not feel aggressive. Some people feel pressure or mild soreness afterward. Suubi adjusts intensity and explains what response is expected.
Is it right for every injury?
No. It is only used when the assessment supports it and when your health history makes it appropriate.
Can it help scar tissue?
It may help with scar mobility when the tissue is healed enough and your medical precautions allow it. It is paired with movement and loading for best fit.
