from Decarte's nodule thread.........
...."Several years back, before I knew I had Lyme; I had a physical therapy treatment on my elbows called Astym(If i remember the name rigjt). The therpist used plastic tools to rub out what 'they referred ' to as toxins...."
I didnt see a PM e-mail for you, I am wondering about
this technique. It looks very similar to Graston technique, but Graston uses smooth polished metal tools vs plastic (prob a patent bypass for one of these LOL).
1)Did you have this performed anywhere besides your elbow area?
2)Was it lightly gliding over or deeper pressure used?
3)about
how many times did they go over, or if a lot, how long in time per skin/muscle group area, 2,5,10 min?
I've used quite a few different techniques for my muscle "repair" (and my home versions), the more the merrier.
