What Conditions Respond Best to Graston Technique?

It has been 8 months since I started incorporating Graston Technique into my Chiropractic Practice.  I have to admit to being somewhat of "Soft Tissue" Snob prior to taking Graston's M1 course and implementing into my treatment protocols.  I never thought that I would feel comfortable utilizing an Instrument over my own two hands.  The impact on my clinical outcomes has been large.  Routine soft tissue injuries are remediating in as little as 2-3 treatments where they typically took 6-8.  The biggest improvement has come in treating post-op hip and knee replacements.  For years we have seen patients who had knee or hip replacements only to suffer lower back symptoms.  In addition these patients would complain of post-op stiffness and pain about the replaced joint after their release form PT.  With the use of Graston Instruments I have noted drastic improvement on these patient's Range-of-Motion and pain.  In addition the corresponding lower back pain and hip pain typically remiss much faster. 
Listen to what some of the Graston Instructors say about the success they have experienced.
