1) To everyone who says "this is gua sha", no it is not. However, it is similar, and yes, I think it builds off of gua sha does. Graston didn't invent the wheel, it just refined it.

2) To those who say this doesn't work....drop by my office anyday. It works instantly, and gets rid of problems that have there for a long time.

Paul, I can tell you that whether or not I can get directly on the capsule, there is no doubt that I can affect the capsule posteriorly. Anteriorly, I can get directly onto it. I can literally feel the capsule on the humerous as I take it through a range of motion. Please refer to the article in Dynamic Chiropratic Dynamic Chiropractic – December 2, 2008, Vol. 26, Issue 25 for treatment of the posterior capsule.

As a chartered physiotherapist with years of musculoskeletal clinical experience, I am concerned regarding several elements of this demonstration:

Point 1: The glenohumeral joint capsule is impalpable, lying deep to the deltoid. It is not anatomically possible to gain access to the posterior capsule using what appears to be a blunt metallic palette knife and even less likely to be able to feel any alteration in tissue tone (rather than using the rather more sensitive index finger or thumb)

Paul

Point 1: The GH joint is very palpable. You can directly contact the inferior and superior part of the capsule anteriorly, and can go through the post delt posteriorly. These are actually very simple to do (talk to any ART provider).

Point 2: The supraspinatus can get an adhesion right before (and under) the acromium. With Graston you can get to it. It becomes more accessible as you move the shoulder into Internal rotation.

isn't this gua sha?

[jgbross]

Similar principle. Graston uses stainless steel tools that have different edges to go over different body parts.

Excellent video.

I am a chiropractor--have been since 1981. I've written several books on chiropractic. This demonstration by Dr. Josh is terrific. His professionalism and knowledge is first rate. I've never seen better. I don't know Dr. Josh, but just by seeing the way he works I can tell he is the real deal. I am proud that he is a fellow chiropractor. He didn't mention what state he was from, but wherever he works, people are lucky to have him there.

[blackapino150]

umm can you do this technique at home? im 13 and i dont have the time to ask my parents to have this technique done for me. But can you do this with a different instrument(s) you can find around the house.

@anninchicago And Beethoven is a rip off of Gregorian Chant.....

[cerevox]

For all the people saying this is gua sha, congratz, you figured it out, every other comment is saying the same thing. Yes, it is gua sha. Its obvious. Anyone can spot it. you can stop telling us now.

[anninchicago]

This is a rip off of a 5,000 year old technique we use in Chinese Medicine called Gua sha.

why didnt you just take a 6 month RT program if you wanted to do this.. which is actually beyond the scope of practice of DC
