Un-Sprained Episode 19- DIY & Graston, GuaSha And WaveTool Therapies. Pitfalls & Bonuses

Are you tired of always feeling like you are acquiring injuries and not actually healing from them?! Perhaps you have regions of scar tissue that feel adhered, tight or rigid and you wish you could just get rid of them? I've felt that way too! Stick with me friend, if you said yes to any of the above, this episode is just for you! Today I selected my favorite home based self-care tool, the Arete tool (by WaveTools therapy) and I discuss the nitty gritty of the HOW, WHY and WHAT of using it and like tools (graston, guasha, etc). I reached out to them and asked them if they'd give my favorite peeps a discount on one and they said YES! Check out the discount code at the bottom of the show notes below. Hurray!! Its so useful, affordable and did I say quality?! These tools used to cost thousands when I was in school and now you can get them for the cost of a PT visit. Amazing. So today we jump in to how much time you need to spend, how you apply the care, and what you are hoping to accomplish to make a change. We also hit up answers to questions like: >> What regions do I use this on? >> How do I know where to work? >> What does the application look like? >> What are we trying to achieve with use? >> What people do NOT need to use this tool? >> What tissues are more prone to needing this care? >> What areas are contraindicated for use? >> And much more! (And If I don't hit your question, just ASK my friend!!) Join me for a MUST listen podcast on what Avy (my one year old) is climbing, and also to hand you actionable step-by-step processes to begin implementing this new tool to make a HUGE long lasting change for the better. (Don't forget, you heal nicely IN BETWEEN applications, so don't overapply). As your body remolds itself from your work, you are going to notice big changes and flexibility that stays. Regions that would benefit from this therapy include: >> Back of the hand >> Forearm (top and bottom) >> Pec Region (chest into the deltoid) >> Calf attachments of muscles to tendons >> Your Palm (base of the thumb and between each finger) >> And much more! Time/Duration: For those in 30 seconds max per region, once or twice per week letting the TOOL tell you where to work next by feeling its vibration over scar tissue or "grabbing" or "stopping" of its glide as it gets hung up on, you know it. Scar tissue. I can't wait to share this sports medicine secret with you using a tool that I LOVE LOVE LOVE that is affordable and easy to use. WaveToolstherapy has given my clients a special discount offer if they love this tool and want to try it out, the code is #DrLisa10 and you can redeem it on their website wavetoolstherapy.com See you next time at the same great time, same great place!
