I'm 11 weeks post op and thought I'd leave some details so I can look back on. I had rotator repair of supraspinatus and labrum debridement. My symptoms were a pain deep in the side of my shoulder. I...

I didn't really care for ASTYM as it only seemed like warming up the area rather than breaking up adhesions, so I went back to Graston therapist. However, the therapist that I saw for ASTYM told and...

I've now had 12 treatments. I believe Graston finally started showing some promise. I now lay full body weight on 2 lacross balls that are taped together. I roll them up and down my spine. I can...

I'm dealing with something like this. I started therapy for what's believed to be scar tissue/adhesion/trigger point in my rhomboid. I've also had pain that I didn't know if it was a lat, oblique,...

Just finished my 5th treatment. My neck feels a lot looser from my 4th treatment. Today the therapist pushed pretty hard again. No pain as far as when she worked on my pain spots, but the skin from...

I had my fourth treatment a little while ago. Too soon after the appointment to tell if there is any difference. However, today she dug in a lot deeper than the last 3 times. She also hit all the...

Try to find a therapist that does "manual therapy". This way they are actually doing manual things with you instead of just giving you exercises that you could do yourself. Look to see if they do...

I just started getting Graston. I've only had 4 visits so no real change at this point. I can feel that the therapist is working the spots as she uses the graston tool on the areas. I was told...

No protocol before the surgery. After the surgery was just some therapy and taking it easy. It sucked at the time, but I've had much worse injuries since then that now that didn't really seem like...

Today is the day after my 3rd treatment. Still no significant change. It's the weekend so I don't get another treatment until Monday. Today is Saturday.

I tore my TFCC and had surgery in year 2000. The tests I had were x ray and mri that were both negative. A hand specialist order a bone scan which showed positive. Either way, the surgeon knew he...

I dislocated mine. You're going to have to get surgery to fix it. You tore the labrum. It's like putting a golf ball in a styrofoam cup. The ball will roll around in the cup, but if you tear a side...

I had my second treatment this morning. Still no change. I'm a bit sore now from the treatment, but nothing more than what I've already been feeling before Graston. The therapist believes that my...

Thanks Dr Joe! I subbed to your channel.

It's the night after my first Graston treatment. No extra pain from the treatment. I haven't noticed any relief yet, but I've had this for a year so I didn't expect it to go away after 1 treatment. ...

Thanks Dr Joe. Good video. I had seen it before and I have been doing the arm movements that you show, only I'm laying on a golf ball. Nothing has worked over the last year. MRI and X rays show...

I had mu first Graston treatment today for trigger points in my back that I've had for a year. No noticeable difference from 1 visit. It seemed like my PT was getting the right spots. I've heard...

Thank you. I'll check out the videos now.

I've had a terrible trigger point in my rhomboid for a year. I'm about to start Graston since I've tried everything else. Anybody get good results from Graston?

It sounds like trigger points in your rhomboid, especially when you said it hurts sitting at your desk. These are very common for people who work at a desk all day. I'm going through the same...
