The Graston Technique enables physical therapists to address scar tissue and fascial restrictions during rehabilitation. The non-invasive technique uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to identify and treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. GT allows a clinician to get as deep into the tissue as necessary to invoke change, yet be sensitive to patient pain and tolerance.

The Kinesio Taping Method is a rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion. It provides extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. Latex-free and wearable for days at a time, Kinesio Tex Tape is safe for populations ranging from pediatric to
geriatric, and successfully treats a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and other medical conditions. The Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique not only offering patients the support they are looking for, but also rehabilitating the affected condition as well.

Modern Cupping Therapy is a safe modality that can be used by various fields of practitioners that do alternative bodywork treatment. The cups lift the tissue with applied suction, offering the potential for relief from pain, inflammation, digestive problems, improving circulation and stress relief. Cupping therapy can be used in both acute and chronic injuries, as well as post surgical treatment and scar management. The negative pressure created by the cups on the body during
treatment can also be an effective way to release underlying fascial restrictions.
