Post Graston Day 2

[guns01]

ok here is day 2 and how much i am able to open everything up after the work was done. it still is a bit tender but 100% better than yesterday. still got a bit of water on and i am still pretty dehydrated. i am pounding some serious water though

also for jipped's comments about his issue coming from bone. here is the thing with the back, hips and pretty much everything tied into those areas. when you have scar tissue and other sticking stuff going on with the muscle, it pulls on the bones and creates pain in that area or it shows in another. one thing i learned is you getting lower back pain could be coming from bound hips glutes and even obliques and hams. so when that happens it weakens the area that it is protecting and over compensates elsewhere which may or may not be where the pain is coming from. so when it all gets busted up and fixed it all fires the way it is supposed to and bingo pain free. cool thing for my back is when i got blown up and compressed all them verts it pulls down. when i get the area worked on it opens it all up and i get zero pain because it is no longer pulling the area.

i am telling you guys, once you try it and then train afterwards you will be kicking you own ass for not doing it early on. i have done it before in the past with both back and legs. i did my first back session today after thursday's treatment and i am telling you it is night and day. the pump is better the contractions are better and the entire back feels better overall from top to bottom. hell it even feels bigger than the last workout. i know this isnt exactly possible but as much more blood that is allowed in it is def more full and filled out in places that couldnt get full before

Hmmmm, sounds painful to me! Who does this procedure? How long did it take?

having it done is brutal painful in some areas but well well worth it. as for who does it every state is different, some states only chiro and physical therapists can do it and others anyone that has the certs can do it. the sessions last 10-30 minutes depending on the areas being treated. most of the time the most you can have an area worked is 2x per moth and that's it

no problem man. if it doesnt take 99% of the pain away i will be very surprised

I think my friends dad may do this and he suggested it to me for my arms before I'll have to see if its the same thing

I'm definitely looking into this. I think I would benefit greatly from it in several areas. I'm also suggesting it to my gf. She always has pain and really bad knots up in her shoulders and traps. I'm hoping this will help alleviate some of that for her.

that's the exact reason my wife has the work done. she has some pretty bad knotting and binding going on and the lady busts that stuff up very effectively

Re: Post Graston Day 2

Trying to find someone close, no luck so far. Closest is 3 hr drive and would suck to drive home after and probably be counterproductive to the work the did. Maybe if I go for a night sometime

Got this done today, didn't hurt but feel it a little now in the neck and back, she worked on my forearm and wrists and seemed to help the flexibility and right wrist was so sore, still sore but feels good...

hopefully you got a good therapist that worked on you. she should have used her hands and one tool to find the issue(it starts turning red like it is irritated) once the spots are located then switch out tools and wear that spot or area out until it starts to look purple or like a bruise. you should have been able to hear and feel it popping as it is being broken up. if you got better range in motion and stuff like that then she def got some good work done on you

Yes she worked my wrists with her hands first but only used one tool not sure about back but the one on arms was shaped to fit the curve of the forearm. I iced it a ton last night and sweated like I was sweating out toxins I think probably the fluid coming out of my wrists. I did feel she could of went harder but she said it's a less is more thing and you don't want to overdo it. Go back next week.
