Graston Technique Treatment

A couple of weeks ago I went to my chiropractor and asked him for a reevaluation. When I first started going to him years ago it was for completely different problems, which are all cured now. My only problem I have these days is the upper back, neck, shoulders, and arms pain from overwork. I am sooo much better than I was a year ago, but I really want to be able to work for longer, and I don't want to have to spend so much time stretching. So, I am thinking the Graston technique is my answer.

He did the re-eval and decided on twice a week treatments. The first day he did the front of my chest just below my neck. I never have pain in that area so I kind of neglect stretching it. Imagine my surprise when he finds very tender areas and two spots, one on each side, of majorly bunched up fascia.

The second day he did my forearms. Those were tender in different spots. I knew they would be. That's as far as we are right now. So far no real indications of relief.

Graston is a great technique, but is not as specific as Active Release Technique. The two work really well to gether.
