Just wondering what you know about this.
Bill, I don't know if you remember my father in law (Joe) who had really bad shoulders (you saw him around Xmas last year). He's been getting amazing results. Is it safe? Does it last?

I use it quite a bit in clinic as it's a nice compliment to ART. It can free up the superficial fascial restrictions quite well. The effects will last as long as the "offending activity" is avoided. You'll also have natural fibrosing of tissues which occurs as we age, so regular "maintenance" is required.

At worst there should be some mild bruising as some smaller blood vessels will break, but that should resolve quickly.

Make sure he keeps up with his regular, daily flexibility work. Glad to here he's improving.

I know Dave Graston who created the original and new tools.

It's good to hear that you approve. He did say it was painful and some bruising already occured.
Joe tore one of his pec muscles bench pressing (like 370) a few months ago. Here is when you say : "I told you so".
Thanks a bunch, I'll keep you posted.
