What is Graston Technique Equine Therapy?
Graston Technique is a unique, evidence-based form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization that utilizes medical grade stainless steel instruments to amplify the feeling of palpation and expand the power of the clinician’s hands as they work to identify soft tissue irregularities in the horse’s body. It maximizes the outcomes of manual therapy treatments. Graston Technique can be used to treat any movement system dysfunction that has been determined to have a soft tissue component.
