![Retrocalcaneal Heel Bursitis [Pain in the back of the Heel TREATMENT!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1VFnNMKPtg/mqdefault.jpg)
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
im only here because i like watching people talk while explaining things.
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 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!!!😀😀👍👍
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??😋😋

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.
Man, I need this guy in my life, where have you been? I'm getting so relaxed just watching, feels so good.
This hurts like no other but worth it's weight in gold
This hurts so good! After the service you will feel like gold!
@@kowalski8 No shit smartass, She meant you’ll feel better.
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.
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?
Oh...my dude had surgery! That scar and the discoloration in his foot have me shook
Looks like they lengthened his achillies tendon....
I so need to have this done
The money-shot for tendonitis is at 4' 18'' - that really hit the spot - such sweet pain!
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.
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.
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.
Had this done for plantar fascitis. It didn't hurt much. Loved it. Worked so good
Nicely done!
Thank you very much for this
I have to get this done.
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
Love this. I will be incorporating this into my treatment plan
Go to a doctor. You’re not qualified to do this
I like graston, but what do you think about massage cupping? I find cupping works well too.
It looks so good 😩 I have plantar fasciitis too and this would definitely feels so good.
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.
I'm thinking of this for my rotator cuffs, and dry needling for my back.
This is great information.Thanks
Hi Dr.
Is that technique suitable for vastus lateralis knots due to sciatica?
Blessings
I had this done it is painful but it does works great
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
Hey Chris, Do you find a significant difference between graston and Astym? It seems very similar in nature..
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
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 had it done today, not painful at all
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.
It looks like it feels so Good though....
It feels terrible
would the GT cause problems with the leg valves and cause VV?
That looks like heaven on the calf
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!!
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..
Forget massage envy! 😫💆🏾♀️🦶🏾
Hey Chris, would this help the elderly or would it be too much, 75 year old and up?
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!
Is it a.special steel bar made for this treatment?. Or any tool to strech the musles. From Argentina
Omg!!! I can fall asleep watching this!! Very therapeutic l.
I need this in my life
I need that sooo bad!
I have some scar tissue after a knee replacement I need to know if I could do it?
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
Does this work? Why have they not told me about this therapy? I have been to about 8 centers for plantar facitis & they are very expensive @ nearly 300 a session & that is one therapist sending 4 to 6 clients on differing weight machines during a single session but no time for ultrasound or one on one.
How bad does that hurt? I have had gua sha - looks very similar
I need more information
Looks fun
Were can i get this tool from & what are the names of the tool.
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!
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.
Is this done by a GP a chiropractor or physical therapist?
that looks wonderful
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.
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.
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.
I love to have this done! Looks like it hurts so good. I live in Kansas City. Wonder if I can get it done here.
I just had it today and It does hurt a lot but it’s kind of a relieving pain
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.

I have 4" or more scar on my neck. the skin has thickened and hardened and causing sever problems swallowing. it literally chocking me. drs. dismiss. I had spinal fusion 3 level in 2005
So who would do this- ortho doctor or physical therapist or whom exactly?
Excellent !
Someone know what staff he use for massage legs ?
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
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 🤷

What is the main bump he has on his foot that gets scraped later in the video
How hard is the pressure that needs to be applied?
Thank you
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.
Where I get this done in the Montgomery,Al? Does this work for people with flat feet?
how often would you perform this technique on the patient featured?
Lawson One every 10 minutes
A 2 in. Jumbo Combination Wrench works just as good for me!
Look into a night splint or the Strassburg sock.
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
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!!!
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?
What kind of tools is he using?
is it more effective if the patient actively moves the muscle while doing this or to passively move the muscle?
Where can I find someone to do Graston in Miami?
Were can I buy your tools
Where can I get that steel bar ???
where can I get that equipment that u used in treatment sir
mohammed Riyazuddin Amazon my friend
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 ✨✨✨✨
Where can I get this kind of work done? Any suggestions welcome
Go here: www.grastontechnique.com/Patients/Locate_a_provider
By any chance, where do I go to get this kind of treatment? Massage therapist? Physical therapy? Etc. also would I need to get a recommendation first in order to get this treatment? Thank you in advance.
Physical therapist. Do a search near you. You can get a lot more info about specialized manual therapy techniques like this on our website www.orthowellpt.com
Hi thank you sooo much
Do u use cream, oil or nothing?
You can use coconut oil
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
Thanks !!!
Please talk about and demonstrate treatments for heel spurs. Thank you.
How did he get that scar? Thanks
