      It's the use of stainless steel instruments that are used to break up scar tissue restrictions, and adhesion in the fascia and calf 

      i just went for my first PT visit for this

      will let you know how it goes

    I have just started with another PT that  does the Graston technique which is the use of stainless steel instruments that are moved over the effected area to break up scar tissue that forms in the plantar and calf.  plantar fascitis is a soft tissue injury 

    Graston technique breaks up adhesion and scar tissue restrictions.

    i will keep you informed on how this works for me
