This literally saved my life! I was in so much pain after several neck spinal surgeries. There is nothing for soft tissue pain my doctor said. I prayed and searched and found a chiropractor that did this. Several sessions a week for several weeks . No more pain!!! I couldn’t believe how wonderful I feel and this is years later! Look for a Sports Medicine Chiropractor that’s who I went to. I am amazed the Graston techniques breaks down fascia scar tissue that holds muscles therefore the muscles start spasming causing so much pain.
As a nurse I shared this with another nurse the Resident doctor overheard me and said “ oh I don’t believe in Chiropractors” and I told him oh that’s too bad because as a medical practitioner you should be open to anything that’s proven to work on patients health, well being, and quality of life. I shared my story with him how I wanted to die because I didn’t feel I could continue living with so much pain but my Chiropractor changed all that!
May God bless you with perfect health, Amen. I got a lot of information after reading your story.
A like from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Ooooooohhhhh have had this done several times, the patient must have a rag in his mouth. I sweat when this is done BUT it is sooooo worth it
That pain while applying pressure is sweet
Discúlpame esto para q sirve no hablo inglés
@@jakelinepulgarin4926para que una condicion se llama " plantar fascitis"...una dolor de los pies...
Got this done today and it hurt so bad for me personally but I'm feeling better than when I came in
When I was a young Marine in SOI I had a Corpsmen would come around in the evenings in the field during our long hard force marches and do this for the guys that were having troubles, made a lot of difference, I really appreciated it. Years later I was that Docs Commanding Officer, he got a lot of days off.
LOL! A show of appreciation goes a long way....get a self massager stick too and keep it rolling...www.amazon.com/Stick-Self-Roller-Massager-Travel-Stick/dp/B0028BSFIS
I had Graston done on the bottoms of my feet yesterday for plantar fasciitis for the first time, and it seemed super helpful!!
How are you now?
@@MrFalcon58199 while Graston/scraping helped a ton for me, and I also taped my feet - it hasn’t been a permanent fix. I’m still struggling with PF, but seem to find the most improvement by doing yoga, stretching calves and ankles. Good luck to you!
Plantar F is 95% the flexibility of your calves and achilles. Get them flexible and it takes all the stress off the plantar f.
My chiropractor used Graston on my foot for plantar fasciitis. It helped right away but took a few months for it to go away completely. I also bought Finn Comfort sandals to wear around the house and at work, which also helped. I haven't had any problems with plantar fasciitis in about 5 years now.
I love this treatment, no matter how tough it gets, you Just gotta remember that it can’t actually cut you.
YEAH!!! Never tot of that!!!😀😀👍👍
Cupping works great in combo with Graston. Cupping is a nice addition to our soft tissue interventions in that it provides a lifting or tractioning effect to the tissue as opposed to the pushing and compression effect of hands on work. Remember that the main reason soft tissue interventions work is thru neuromodulation. The more and diverse ways we can influence the mechanoreceptors and neuromodulate the pain, the better the results.....although the results have been shown to be temporary ie several hours. Repetition is the mother of skill. Teach your patient self massage strategies as well as behavior modification, proper posture, body mechanics and ergonomics in order to break the pain cycle.
Man, I need this guy in my life, where have you been? I'm getting so relaxed just watching, feels so good.
im only here because i like watching people talk while explaining things.
This hurts so good! After the service you will feel like gold!
@@kowalski8 No shit smartass, She meant you’ll feel better.
I am starting these treatments tomorrow and I am so excited. I am so tired of my chronic and excruciating foot pain.
I got it done for plantar fasciitis. I’ve had mine since last year. I got relief the first time and went back 3 more times and it’s gone 🙌🏼 I can’t recommend this enough I tried everything!!
Yes, this works. It was used for my excruciating sciatica nerve pain that ran from my lower back all the way to the tip of my toe sometimes. My chiropractor explained that the nerve runs down your leg in a sheath and if it is impeded by scar tissue or other buildup, it could cause this pain. So she worked on if for a couple of sessions, when she got to my calf I felt it snap free after she went over it. I Literally never had any more pain. So glad I did this rather than have back surgery, which may have helped allow the nerve more room to move by removing some bone, but would not have really fixed the issue. Anyway, going back later this week for some calf Graston fun, I'm running now and am having issues down there and i know this works.
Sciatica ouch my Dpt did spine miplazation
I no longer have plantar fasciitis but, for some reason, my calves are always sore. The roller technique looks like it works wonders for that particular area.
Rhabdomiolysis?
What did you do to heal your plantar fasciitis?
@@ashtonh8818
"I think that methods like rolling a ball or reflexing your calves were only temporary pain relief measures, and that nothing provided a permanent solution. However, in my case, after suffering from plantar fasciitis for 2.5 years, I managed to fully recover. I have a slight high arch, and here's what I did:
1)Stopped doing all those stretches and raising my heels.
2)Kept my feet off the ground as much as possible.
3)Used a massage gun (around $90 on the internet) to loosen the calf muscles if needed.
4)Got an insole that was firm enough to support the arch.
5)Stopped wearing socks for the time being.
6)Whenever I felt hurt, I stopped walking immediately, didn't push it, and took a short rest.
7)I also bought a pair of soft slides. When I started feeling pain after wearing shoes or when my feet began to feel hot, I would switch to the soft slides. For indoor, I brought one of those pair hoka slides. But for outdoor a normal soft slides is fine.
8)Soaked my feet in a warm to hot foot bath nightly.
9)Before getting out of bed, I gently moved my feet clockwise and anticlockwise.
10)Placed Japanese heat pads on my feet before going to bed (read the instructions before using).
11) limited sugar/sweets intake.
Finally, if you feel 90% recovered, consider trying hot laser treatments at the podiatrist. You can also start doing some very light stretching, but stop immediately if you feel any pain afterwards.
Please note that these points are not in a specific order; they are just listed in bullet point form. I hope this makes it easy to understand. Those are the ways I recovered my PF; it may not work for others. Each person varies. All the best and hope your PF speedy recovery.
Great stuff. I use this intervention routinely in my sports rehab clinic. As the public is becoming more aware of it its becoming more prevalent in clinics around the country. Thankfully there are some many of us breaking down the common misconceptions.
How did you cure your planter fascities?
Great video - I watched because I have plantar fasciitis (wicked painful) & next week I am scheduled for Graston Technique massage therapy. You did a great job showing what it is all about.
My high school aged son developed knee pain when performing heavy squats in off season football training and the therapist used Graston technique on him & within 9 massage sessions he was better than new.
Dont let ur kids squat heavy in hs, especially for football. A better exercise for explosiveness is the clean and jerk. The risk of injury from squatting heavy is too great compared to the benifits.
@@ljguy300 Excellent point - In my lifetime at the gym I have witnessed injuries due to heavy squats. Backs that required surgery & knees that were never the same. My son chose not to play college football & no longer lifts heavy weights.
I didn't realize I was doing a self-graston with my grandma's rocking chair which has a metal bar that I would rub up and down my calves by rocking back and forth. It feels so good.
So cute😝😝
Maybe your grandma also do that??😋😋
Had this done for plantar fascitis. It didn't hurt much. Loved it. Worked so good
The money-shot for tendonitis is at 4' 18'' - that really hit the spot - such sweet pain!
Just watching this makes me want to pass out. I can barely take a wash cloth brushing across my leg I broke three years ago let alone this and near the scar oh man. Whew I can’t even breathe just seeing this.
This technique does wonders, however if you observe the grastin channel, it is done slower and over a longer period of time. It is not supposed to cause terrible pain. I would not allow someone to strap my leg down to do this. Slowly over time gradually increasing pressure. Also he didn’t use emollients which is absolutely necessary! I fear too many people do this without the proper training.
This method really helped me. Thank you thank you thank you so much. I had this pain from months and I could see a big difference after this.
Oh...my dude had surgery! That scar and the discoloration in his foot have me shook
Looks like they lengthened his achillies tendon....
This procedure is exactly what I've been looking for. My posterior calves and thighs are extremely tight no matter how much I stretch, massage, and apply heat I get no relieve. I've been having this problem for about 10 years. I'm active and practice Aikido Martial Art, but this procedure I strongly believe would increase my quality of life...
Aikido is fake
Aikido :D
@@johnomara849 less effective but not completely fake, some people in low/mid level mma* have used the techniques successfully
I don't think most here would stand a chance against low level mma
No way you can remain tight if you properly excercise and stretch.
Evaluate make sure that:
You warm up before starting training, second
You stretch right after, while you are warm, and
You remain physically active 2hrs after ( meaning you don't sit down to watch TV or go to sleep right after)
And of course, you need to know what and how to stretch in order to stretch all the concerned musles in all needed directions.
It looks so good 😩 I have plantar fasciitis too and this would definitely feels so good.
I had it done today, not painful at all
This hurts like no other but worth it's weight in gold
Education is definitely the best strategy to curing yourself of plantar fasciitis.
Chris Dukarski, PT my degree in music isn’t helping at all.
I can't walk for a long a time or walk very fast because my calf muscles will start acheing so badly I can't even stand. It's feels like I have bricks on my legs and I can't move because if I do attempted to keep walking through the pain and aching then my legs will get stiff and cause me to stop and sit on the ground because I can't even stand because putting pressure on my legs really hurts my calf muscle when I'm resting my legs I have to sit down it's the only way to get rid of the pain. I have to sit down to get the pain off my calf muscle. Do you know what is wrong?
I don't think that will help me out but I will try. Thanks!
That looks like heaven on the calf
It looks like it feels so Good though....
It feels terrible
Hey Danny. Yes get checked out by a professional in order to assess the area. Start with your PCP and then get referred to a PT who specializes in orthopedic manual therapy.
Chris Dukarski, PT hey ,if anyone else trying to find out cure foot problems try Alkarno Foot Pain Alchemist (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.

Graston is great it’s fixed my tennis elbow and PF in the past. I even did it to myself with the backside of a knife. Not ideal but it works great and works to break up the scar tissue. Cheaper than all those visits to the chiro. I just wish steel toed boots existed that had the right properties to not cause PF
Omg!!! I can fall asleep watching this!! Very therapeutic l.
I don't care what anybody says, this hurts. I've been locked up in a boot for almost 8 weeks now. Have tons of knots in my calf. Getting this done does help but the day of and the day after are horrible.
I always rub out my scars too, definitely works, not a scam at all.
Omg HOW
I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis recently, which I haven't had to deal with for over 20+ years now. So Now I am back to rehabbing myself by using a wooden roller which I found at a garage sale, looks like it was used to massage sore feet, I use it in combination with another wooden dowel that I had laying around and one of those mini bats since it's thicker at the top and narrows down to the handle end, also have a golf ball. By varying the different thicknesses of the tools I have I am able to focus on problem areas using the narrow parts and then use the thicker tools to flatten and lessen the pain. I use the weight of my body to apply the pressure I need. I would suggest you do your massage in a room that doesn't have a lot of obstacles like a coffee table because it can make you very light headed quickly and you could lose your balance.
It's taken me about 3 weeks now to get rid of all the inflammation and pain. I am back to normal and my headaches are also gone. Feet pain can really mess you up.
Hiiii i m recently suffering from plantar fasciitis can u plz tell me how much time it will take to cure I m literally in very much pain✨✨✨✨
@@aaradhya6345 Took me 3 weeks, but you have to do periodic maintenance, also drinking a lot of water helps also. I would suggest you see a doctor also just in case it may be something else.
@@johnwayne2103 thanks for your reply ✨✨✨✨
That looks absolutely amazing. Sometimes I feel like dipping my foot in a piranha aquarium but maybe I'll try this instead.
😂😂😂😂
Always thought deep massage to the feet was better , scar tissue's more around the foot , as pain coming from there , but mybe not 🤷

Oh my so hope I can get my husband to do this for me a couple times a week!!
He’s a plumber & comes home really tired & hands hurt sometimes. Gosh my heels hurt tho everyday!
I so need to have this done
Forget massage envy! 😫💆🏾♀️🦶🏾
Thank you very much for this
Hello everybody, amazing video, great to know there's something to help me with this plantar fasciitis. I am now in my 13th month of this nightmare! Does anybody know where or how I can get my hands on the tools shown on this video for the Graston Technique?
bunburyjordan they're very expensive. If you Google "graston technique" you can find them. however, I want to get some made for myself that are cheaper. It seems like they're just metal bars.
bunburyjordan is not just the tools (and Graston tools are very expensive at around 2K) but the know how and training in the proper technique. How much pressure, how long, what direction are all important. Without the proper training, you may cause more damage to the tissues you are trying to heal.
Di Ramirez hi Di.... What is the complete name of the belt that tight the feet with the table? Thanks
I had this done it is painful but it does works great
PT here...far better off with hand held foam roller for lower leg /gastroc & soleus then doing some eccentric calf work on a step or DF strengthening. Cheaper, less painful, plus better long term efficacy and effectiveness . This popped up on my recommended videos so thought I would provide my two cents.
Do you recommend working better with foam roller than with the gastron technique to release gastros and calf muscles? I am undecided on what to get, the muscle scraper or the foam roller
this would be incredibly painful for me. it hurts just to massage my calves lightly. I've had to work up to "normal" pressure over a few months. if I forget a day or a few, it's back to pain again.
Same
A 2 in. Jumbo Combination Wrench works just as good for me!
I have just 2 words that finally relieved my plantar facilities for good: castor oil.
It can be used rubbed on feet 2x a day or in a castor oil pack. After months of pain it was gone in only 3 days of castor oil.
Love this. I will be incorporating this into my treatment plan
Go to a doctor. You’re not qualified to do this
Funny how people say this doesnt work. I train in martial arts and lifts weights almost daily..I have alot of scar tissue and getting a deep tissue massage (which is basicly what this is) does wonders for mobility in the muscles.
I’ve had this done for my feet it felt nice but the pain made me cry lol
Unfortunately a lot of people experience a large volume of pain with these techniques. The problem is a lot of practitioners apply far too much pressure and its not nessecary. The nervous system and tissue actually have a better response to gentler pressure. With a lot of these techniques, we are just neuromodulating tone and basically opening a small window of time for relief.
Yes. I find it to be much more effective to add ROM.
I know I should leave this to the experts but I really want to try this I have no experience whatsoever but I really want to try
This is great information.Thanks
I need this in my life
I'm thinking of this for my rotator cuffs, and dry needling for my back.
Mkay.....
I didn’t realize that until I read your comment. I can’t stop laughing 😂
Yes Mr Mackey
If you want to cure your plantar fasciitis fast then visit this website here: HootFoot.xyz
People can do this work on their own. Graston is a Gua Sha ripoff. Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese massage modality. People can buy Gua Sha tools online. They can watch Gua Sha videos on RUclips. It doesn't take a Physical Therapist, a HCFA 1500 form and a medical/insurance ripoff to be able to do self massage DAILY for better results than going somewhere once a week/month.
Maybe for some, not for me though. I had some serious build up and it was painful to the point that I had to laugh so I wouldn't cry. There is no way you could put that much pressure on your own calf. Maybe for minor issues you could but I would recommend the foam roller as well.
u dont need that pressure...u cant break up scar tissue with foce unless u can bring up 2000lbs pressure..what happens is the neurological realse wich results in less muscletone and less pain..u dont need all that useless pressure..
Vitality Massage a
ok thats great old man, you obviously got off at the wrong bus stop so ill call you a cab to drive you home.
This man has big operation on his leg I wonder what is it ?
how often would you perform this technique on the patient featured?
Lawson One every 10 minutes
The gladiators did this themselves in Spartacus.
*_The Five Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution_** at Amazon works and is less involved.*
Ok. I did find this. h8ttps://ruclips.net/video/dFSQ6vB53X0/видео.html
Thanks for the info! I'm glad there are so many people in the comments section who must know WAAAY more than someone who's actually gone to school for it........*coughcough* Keep on doing you Dr. Dunkarski
I do the cupping n seen results with my clients
What a twad you are. We ALL have bodies. We all can learn. Just because you go to some school doesn't mean you know more or better. Anyone can beat wealth of knowledge through experience and self teaching.
People like you are so out of touch!
Doctors are not Gods!!!
Thank you so much!!! My mom has it And I feel bad for her...
I went to a Graston Technique sponsored course here in Massachusetts.
I bet this would be one of those good type of pains. I love pressing my bruises lol
Looks v painful but probably v effective
How come this guy isn't screaming in pain like I was... I think it should be more aggressive otherwise youre not breaking up the scar tissue. Ive had graston done on both arms. It was painful but worked. Im having it done for plantar fasciitis now and it reallllyy hurts.
Ty Great technique. Very helpful. Most pain in the heal
I like graston, but what do you think about massage cupping? I find cupping works well too.
That hurts so bad!
Idk why anyone would use a metal bar to check for irregularities in a muscle...when you have a perfect natural scanning device for that, called hands. This is just one of those "oh, imma invent something new thats not really new but people are desperate so i will sell it anyways and give it a fancy name-to make it more professional- type of thing"
I have a Physical Therapist who uses a Graston tool for my calf muscle and plantar fasciitis in my foot and she's told me that she switched to the tool because she was able to apply more consistent and longer massaging and her hands get tired-out far less.
A massage therapist can treat plantar fasciitis in the course of a 30 or 60 minute massage. And you won't have to go to an M.D. for a referral to PT.
trust me....not the same!! A doctorate degree in PT vs massage school- There is a big difference.
Nicely done!
Using GT on the calf can be a bit much for the elderly. I tend to perform hands on techniques to the calf and gradually increase GT force to the plantar foot.
There are many factors in plantar foot treatment. One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Natural Foot Wizard (check it out on google) definately the most helpful treatment i've seen.Check out the extraordinary info .

Another damn product placement under the guise of a legitimate comment
Nice video
little tip try using some massage lotion, that has to be super uncomfortable for the patient
Oh I want that done to my feet. They hurt so bad. It hurts to walk on them sometimes. And I have a job where I am on my feet all day. I'm always trying to do some small stretches and ice.
nathan woodall you probably have plantar fasciitis try rolling the bottom of your foot on something
Was waiting to see skin peeled 😂
I use a spoon and it works
Look into a night splint or the Strassburg sock.
not a bad video, but maybe next time you can show how one can perform gt on their own calves incase tgey don't have medical insurance like myself. ☺
That would feel soo damn good
I have to get this done.
Along with the Plantar Fasciosis, I also suffer from what
I'm told is neuropathy in both of my feet.
Is there anything you know of that may relieve this numbness?
Hey Chris, would this help the elderly or would it be too much, 75 year old and up?
I’ve had plantar fasciitis for over a year now, and my doctor says there’s nothing to be done but to cut the fascia surgically. I’m only 44, and we haven’t tried anything like this yet. Where can you have this done?
Doctor is full of crap
Ahh! That looks so painful! My legs are super sensitive. Today, however, I was dx w/ a plantar facia spur AND an Achilles insertion spur. I may succumb to this. I am a massage therapist (in a hospital physical therapy dept), where I can I find those tools? Also, did you use a lubricant on the skin or dry?
If you're an MT and super sensitive you may be fascially bound in your legs? try cupping to break up the trapped tissue
Tiffany Leiter a lubricant is used, to aid the practitioner to pinpoint the scar tissue and adhesions by allowing the instruments to glide over the tissues. Any spot where the gliding is diminished is an area of fascial restrictions. Also the lubricant has emollient properties which enhances the petechia bruising (mild inflammation) which brings fresh blood to the area.
Like taking your foot to a body shop !
I just fixed mine with real arch supports for my work boots...how are your arches?mine weren't properly supported and the pain...wow
I need that sooo bad!
"With the birds I'll share this lonely viewin"
is it more effective if the patient actively moves the muscle while doing this or to passively move the muscle?
Hi, what is the name of the tool that you used with two hands to do the calves I would like to purchase one. Thanks.
VERY GOOD VIDEO GOOD WORK, WHERE CAN I BUY ONE OF THOSE METAL HAND BAR? IT BE VERY USEFUL THANK YOU
carlos mark If he sells you it he won’t make any money.. it’s a special secret bar hidden in the Internet. You may have to use Google..
@solarpaneling: Gua Sha and Graston are techniques performed differently. Graston is not a fake manual therapy.
This is almost exactly what it looks like when I butter my toast.
Tell your butter knife "good job," Mkay?
I am trying to find out if techniques work on obese people. I have a few clients that are very large with issues that this would help with.
Don't be fooled...there is NO quick fix for plantar fasciitis. You have to put in the time to treat yourself. Check out our website at www.cureyourselfnow.net for a detailed plan on how to cure yourself of plantar fasciitis.
THANK YOU
Plantar fasciosis* Get rid of your shoes and do anything pro inflammatory to the PF and it will resolve
pro inflammatory?
Chris Dukarski, PT sure...don't be fooled and buy this book. It will show you everything already available on RUclips
I need more information
shit lol im over here staring at that huge ass scar looking like it about to open lol
In the leg in which I ruptured my Achilles the front of the ankle gets really painful and tight. If I massage my plantar fascia, the front of my ankle loosens up and stops hurting. In addition, I've noticed that my plantar fascia is tender. Anyone know what the bio-mechanics are with respect to the front of my ankle and the plantar fascia?
Hey Chris, Do you find a significant difference between graston and Astym? It seems very similar in nature..
that looks wonderful
I wish my physical therapist would do this but all I have done is pick marbles with my toes 😭
