    The technique itself seems interesting, but I'm absolutely unconvinced about the reliability of the study results.
    I have to say that if I was providing Graston technique I'd write a glowing report too:rolleyes:.

    Having only read the abstract, is is just me or are there big truck sized holes in this study?

    Here's your starter for ten - there was no control group.
     
  6. Yeah, but a key benefit to the patient is that they can engage in everyday activities while the treatment is being administered. So while someone is rubbing your foot with a stainless steel rod, you can do all the activities that you would normally be doing. Perhaps that's only true if you "work from home", y'all know what I'm saying. :hammer:

    Just in case anyone picks me up wrongly, I didn't say it wasn't BS, I just said it seems interesting........;).
     
  9. Lucky for me that I still have a man slave. Since, at this moment, I don't have undergraduates at my disposal. This situation may soon change, but that's another story...

    I think you'll find the "holes" in the study are similar to those that exist in most case series.

    We're not talking about a randomized, controlled trial here.

    After reading this post I went to UTube to see and hear how Graston technique works.
    Surelly breaking up scar tissue in an acute Plantar fasciitis can work if the underlying biomechanics are a small problem and/or patient is young (the body has not deteriorated bad enough yet). The manipulation of joint may not be necessary. this young patient may not have developped symptoms until older accept he strained the limb out through agressive sport. I suspect his symptoms will undoubtedly return in the future or he'll get an orthotic to deal with the likelly cause of his problem.
