It depends.... It depends.... I have been through Level 1 and 2, currently "GTS". I honestly think it depends on your patient population. For your younger and more athletic populations I find it to be an effective treatment intervention. For more chronic "layered" dysfunction, chronic pain/hypersensitivity, and older de-conditioned populations do not seem to respond as well to it. I know the instructors would disagree, but like most other instructors for con-ed courses I have taken over the years, they are in Private Practice and/or in a franchised clinics that mostly treats athletes and/or more active, healthy individuals. Working for a hospital system where you see many unhealthy, deconditioned individuals, I feel that Graston is not as effective. I am still glad I have been through the training, am certified, and have the intervention in my assessment/treatment tool-box for appropriate patients.

The technique is wonderful.... The technique is wonderful and the people awesome. I did have some trouble getting registered for the GTS credential test but Tyler went above and beyond to get me set up to take the test.

Runners love the results; CrossFitters love the results; and my hands love the decreased stress. Happy patients referring their friends or workout buddies for GT is one of my largest sources for new patients!
