The course, Graston Technique®: Treating Movement Dysfunction through Functional Testing, Graston Technique® and Adjunctive Therapies, provides a comprehensive introduction to Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and regional interdependence highlighting the Graston Technique®. It uses a case-based methodology to demonstrate GT’s multi-faceted approach to addressing scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The course is available via MedBridge’s online learning platform and instructed by GT Clinical Advisor Jacqueline Shakar, DPT, MSPT, OCS, CMT.
“Based on our commitment to proper training and continuing education, we are very excited about our partnership with MedBridge, which will allow clinicians to gain a better understanding of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and learn more about the Graston Technique®,” said Todd R.

"While not a substitute for GT’s industry-leading M1 Basic Training Course, this online course is intended to act as both an introduction and as a supplement to live lab training."
