Graston Technique at PhysioCare in Oshawa

Overview

About this treatment

What is Graston Technique?

Graston Technique uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to scan and treat soft tissue. The instruments detect fibrotic changes and restrictions that hands alone cannot feel, then break down scar tissue and adhesions while stimulating healing. It is used by over 21,000 clinicians worldwide, including professional sports teams.

Our Approach at PhysioCare Oshawa

We integrate Graston with active release, exercise, and other modalities for optimal outcomes. Patients often experience less treatment time and faster return to activity.

FAQ’s

Frequently asked questions

Clinician speaking with a patient in a bright clinic

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No. You can book physiotherapy, massage, chiropractic, and most of our other services directly. Some insurers still ask for a referral for reimbursement — we can help you check your plan.

Do you direct-bill insurance, MVA, and WSIB?

Yes. We direct-bill most extended health plans and regularly treat motor vehicle accident and WSIB files. Bring your insurance details or claim number to your first visit.

What should I wear or bring to my first visit?

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Please bring photo ID, your insurance card, a list of medications, and any imaging reports. Arriving 10–15 minutes early helps us review intake forms.

Are sessions one-on-one?

Always. You have your clinician’s full attention for the entire appointment — no shared treatment rooms, no overlapping patients.

Is there parking, and is the clinic accessible?

We are on the ground floor of Crown Medical Clinic at 115 Simcoe St. South. Free patient parking is behind the building, and the clinic is wheelchair accessible.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please give 24 hours’ notice if you need to change an appointment. Late cancellations and missed visits may be subject to a fee so we can offer that time to another patient.
