Graston Technique

Graston Technique is an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. It is a technique that is successful in treating all soft tissue conditions, whether they are chronic, acute, or post surgical. The Graston Technique offers many advantages to the patient such as:

  • Decreased overall time of treatment
  • Fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery
  • Reduces need for anti-inflammatory medications
  • Resolves chronic conditions

Active Release Technique

Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands on, soft tissue technique that successfully locates and breaks up scar tissue and fascial adhesions/restrictions. “ART is a patented advanced, movement-based massage system, that is extremely effective for accurately locating the cause of soft-tissue conditions and effectively resolving (or greatly improving) over-use and sprain/strain conditions.”

I am now totally pain-free!

“I love the new Arbutus Physiotherapy location in the Westshore. All the physiotherapists are professional, experienced and caring. I had suffered with chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis for years, following advice and treatments I am now totally pain free! I really like that that Arbutus Physiotherapy has a special focus on sports rehabilitation amongst many things, such as balance and functional movement which are all so important. Thank you for all your help!”
