The Graston Technique, or Scraping as it is also sometimes referred to, is a form of manual therapy known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization. It looks to work on reducing pressure & tension which can be built up on the connective tissue which sits on top of our muscle. This can contribute to certain areas of our body feeling ‘tight’ or having a reduced range of movement.

Graston/Scraping is also very good for breaking down scar tissue following an injury, or muscle adhesions/restrictions often associated with muscle tears, sports injuries, ligament damage, tendon damage etc.

This technique is very popular amongst the sporting community, especially in fields such as bodybuilding, powerlifting, boxing, mma & athletics.

Acupuncture is a treatment derived from ancient Chinese medicine. Fine needles are inserted at certain sites in the body for therapeutic or preventative purposes.

Acupuncture involves stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles.
This results in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins. It's likely that these naturally released substances are responsible for the beneficial effects experienced with acupuncture.
A course of acupuncture usually creates longer lasting pain relief than when a single treatment is used.
