In Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Dr. Jeffrey Poplarski of Amityville, New York recently completed Graston Technique® Module 1 Basic Training and is now treating patients with GT at his practice in Amityville.
The
Technique uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect
and treat areas exhibiting scar tissue or chronic inflammation.
Clinicians
use the instruments with varying shapes to comb over and "catch" on
fibrotic tissue, which immediately identifies areas of restriction. Once
the tissue has been identified, the instruments break up scar tissue so
the body can absorb it.
The Technique reduces pain and increases range of motion. It also:
- Improves diagnostic treatment
- Increases patient satisfaction by achieving notably better outcomes
- Speeds rehabilitation and recovery
- Reduces the need for anti-inflammatory medication
- Allows the patient to continue to engage in everyday activities.
The
instruments are not meant to replace a clinician's hands, but to
complement them. M1–Basic Training offers participants a comprehensive
overview of the GT treatment approach with extensive laboratory
practice.
More
than 7,500 leading health care providers, more than 30 colleges and
universities, major corporations and more than 125 professional/amateur
sports organizations in the U.S. and around the world currently use
Graston Technique®. Trainers and clinicians at these
organizations are treating elite athletes, patients and employees every
day to get them injury free to function at the highest level.
The
Technique provides patients with a new option in the treatment of
musculoskeletal complaints. For further information contact Dr. Jeff
Poplarski at 631-598-7034.
