Dr. Hegazi is a licensed Graston Technique practitioner. The Graston Technique is changing the way clinicians and patients view treatment of acute and chronic soft tissue injuries. It is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. It has proven to be an effective clinical compliment to the manual manipulation techniques Dr. Hegazi uses in treating his patients.

Dr. Hegazi incorporates this technique to effectively detect and treat stubborn muscular scar tissue and adhesions in restoring full biomechanical function and strength to our patients.
