As most of you know I am an avid exerciser and getting a little older each day.  Muscle aches and pains are almost getting to be a daily occurrence.  Some days are worse than others. 

I came across a technique that has really worked for me in getting me right back into exercising with virtually no down time. 

Let me first tell you a few very important things:

1.  If you have issues with bruising or are on a blood thinner - this is not recommended

2.  The sooner the better - meaning when you are injured go within a few days.  Do not wait weeks

3.  It is not for the weary.  It is somewhat painful, but in the end, the problem is resolved

And these are the benefits

1. Decreases overall time of treatment
2. Fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery
3. Reduces need for anti-inflammatory medication
4. Resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent
5. Continues to engage in everyday activities

Ok.  The technique is called Graston Hall technique.  Here is the website to find a provider near you.
