Course Overview

This course provides the Graston Technique (GT) trained/certified clinician with an overview of the latest materials, concepts, skills, and research that we currently include in our Essential (M1) and Advanced (M2) courses but with an emphasis on the complete Advanced Training curriculum. The Advanced Training curriculum includes a system of functional testing that is utilized to identify 3-dimensional clinical “neuromyofascial’ applications using a unique approach that is based on current evidence that was developed by Graston Technique, LLC.

GT Advanced Training treatment techniques are applied along the kinetic chains of the trunk and extremities for the modulation of pain and to eliminate movement dysfunction. The purpose of this course is to bring our GT community of clinicians that have completed their Advanced Training coursework more than 2 years ago up to date with our current curriculum.

GT Instructors will also be required to complete this course annually to assure that they are teaching the most updated curricular materials. A review of GT course concepts including selected case study presentations is included. Practice integration guidelines, and updated billing and documentation guidelines are also included. Upon completion of this course, participants will be required to successfully complete a brief learning assessment.
