Graston Technique in Deep Gluteal Syndrome

Deep gluteal syndrome describes the presence of pain in the buttock caused from non-discogenic and extrapelvic entrapment of the sciatic nerve. The Graston Technique (GT) is a kind of manual therapy technique known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization. Instruments help to perform massage/scraping of the skin and miyofascia gently. The aim of this study is to investigate additive effect of GT applied to the lateral and posterior fascia to the exercise program in patients with deep gluteal syndrome on pain and disability.
