Yea thats great man, i guess my doc is taking care of my back first before he'll do the laser on my elbows but my elbows hurt more than my back, not sure why hes doing it that way.

I can feel the tightness in my back is way less on the side where ive had this done so far.

went in today to my lady and she did my entire back and upper glutes. she beat the every more piss out of me cause those areas have gotten worse in me. i am bruised to pieces but it open everything up big time immediately. all those chains where locked up big time again cause i have both hurt the areas and where she has been gone i havent been able to get in to see her. i go back in three weeks. those session hurt way way worse and she even opened up my obliques hips and seratus because they were also pulling. i will get a pic up of how it looked post work and tomorrow if the bruising sets in. she used a new tool on me today called jacked. it jacked my ass up for sure haha

he worked you pretty good it looks like. now idk how long he told you to wait but let everyone know how different and more open it feels when you train it again. you should also get better pumps and growth from the blood flow and opening up of the fascia as well. great stuff man, i dont bruise very easy at all and i get the piss beat out of me with some nasty bruising at times

So I went to my doctor appointment today and he did about 10 minutes worth of Graston on my back here is a picture of it.

By the way the doctor was an old school powerlifter and he knows all about the typical elements of a body builder. So it was cool we related a lot.

I went to my appointment this morning. The doctor is one of the best in tampa because he does many Rays & Lightning players and hes not even a team doctor. He looked me over and said im in excellent structural health and that i dont really need to see a chiro but he did recommend Graston on my back and laser therapy on my elbows because i have tendonitis.

My next appointment is next Monday.

i honestly think that when they busted mine up it helped out with all the pulling on my bones and joints. could all be in my mind but i could tell a difference. hell most of the time 50-75% better is great especially as we get older and more busted up

so true.

Yea Guns, thats exactly why im doing this. Ive always gotten deep tissue on my back and i still have these dam knots. I also have alot of elbow pain from doing weighted dips which i guess could be considered tennis elbow. So those two things ill have them look at. Ill take pics and log this for sure. Its only $50 for the therapy because its not covered by insurance.

hell yeah man. i pay 45 for 30 mins and she spends about 5-10 mins on each zone of the muscle being worked. that's all that is needed i guess. cool thing about my lady is she travels and works on different parts of the olympic team, so she is damn good. it kind of screwed me last month because she was out of town when i needed to get in and i am not seeing my primary doc for a ref to go see the pt to have it done. i would rather pay out of pocket than have to go through on the bs to see my physical therapist over and over again

most say that only 1x per month is all that is needed and suggested but my therapist was super aggressive with mine on my legs and we were doing it 3x per week. so see what they say and go with what is going to help you best the fastest. i only get my back done 1x per month and hams and glutes as well. i will probably transition to chest delts and arms here shortly when everything else is good to go. cool thing about this technique is when you cant hear or feel it anymore then you are all good. they cant fake that to make more money off of you
