Best technique for rhomboid issues is to place the client's bent arm behind the back to raise the scapula. Pull and stretch the scapula outward and free the scapula to move upward and downward by an inch. All Back tension will be relieved without so much trauma and irritation that you induce with the Graston technique.
For future treatments with Allyssa what concentrated areas do you focus on keeping in mind the muscle adhesions in her rhomboids? You mentioned her having fascial restrictions in her pectoral region, should this be a more focused area then? And also in your sessions do you focus on using your Graston techniques on the antagonist/protagonist muscle groups or do you follow the muscle trigger points along the body?

Yes there is a technique. There's no way for me to explain to you in an exact quantitative form how much pressure he was applying to my adhesions. It's a moderate amount of pressure depending on how inflamed the area is, how tight the adhesions are, the patient's pain tolerance, etc.
There is an unfortunate misunderstanding that surrounds the small red dots (called ‘sha’ in Chinese Medicine) that frequently (and ideally) appear during Gua Sha treatment. Some think 🤦🏻♂️ and so name them petechiae - ironically being a dermatological skin pathology! This is utterly inconsistent with the ‘sha’ in Eastern medicine - which is a positive response, not a pathology, that indicates formerly embedded globules of intense heat toxin being released to the skin surface. This is achieved simply, and remarkably, by rubbing (smoothly scraping) a smooth edged instrument benevolently across the skin surface. Simply stated, ‘sha’ does not exist as a feature of the biomedical construct of the body.
Neil Banerjee the sense of the technique is complicated, to be shortly you do 2 things: first, you can see where is the problem and by scraping with tools can reduce and remove the cicatrizial adhesion, becouse when you think of a muscle, you have to imagine a multiple planes of scrolling between the muscles...so if you have a cicatrizial adhesion for....an example...hard work during a training...the muscle's planes is compromised, and you will feel pain during the movement. Second that irritation, recalls blood, and with the blood other component that are important for the healing.

so witch doctors are moving into massage therapy?
I just had this done to me and omg it hurt so good
Victoria Yost I absolutely love it!

The redness is from skin irritation. I have light skin and just scratching myself can make my skin to go red. This is basically doing the same.
Redness and broken capillaries are different
Hot like a campfire in the Arizona summer!
That's when you know you hit the spot!! 🙌🏼
My question is.. How hard does he press down when doing the scraping?
It depends on how tight the adhesions are, how much inflammation is already there, and the patient's pain tolerance
Basically, there is no technique, just bruising the skin. How much force he used? It must be hard.

Oh my gosh, did he fail anatomy?
He really only mispronounced "rotator cuff," everything else was hunky dory.
Rotary cuff 😂
Brad Marlow I had to stop watching after that. Biggest pet peeve in medicine.
Bruh wtf this guy
It was his first video. You knew what he meant... be easy
This is just simply put Gua Sha. Practiced for thousands of years in Chinese Medicine.
Overpriced gua sha
yup

This technique doesn't make logical sense.
Why would I want to irritate an area that's already inflamed?
That's not how healing is accomplished.

breaking apart the fascial adhesions to stimulate blood flow (aka oxygen and nutrients) to the area so it can heal
Facial adhesions? He's scraping her traps and right rhomboid; not her face.
