* One of the great things about my work setting is that although I am at an outpatient orthopedic clinic I also get to see other types of patients. The reason for this is that many individuals do not want to take the extra half an hour to travel to St. George, especially when they need to be treated two or three times a week. One such patient is seeing me for cardiac rehab. This particular patient is hilarious (at least I think so). Since we are not a cardiac rehab clinic, don't have an EKG, etc., I have to take extra percautions for his safety and monitor his vitals closely during exercise. Well, today when he was during a more strenous part of his session he grabbed his heart and let out a huge gasp. Of course, within a fraction of a fraction of a second I had literally leaped to his side (likely faster than I have ever moved before). Immediately he began laughing hysterically. "Gotcha" he kept saying. Dang him! Probably the highest my heart rate has been in years!!!!

Dang, you are being so good with all your extra exercises. It makes me feel guilty for not doing mine more.

Since you brought up work. What do you no about ASTYM? I think that is how you spell it. I had a PT who is my patient yesterday telling me I should do it on my calf since it has become a chronic on and off again problem.

Rhett,

I'm a big fan of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization in the right hands. There are two techniques that are above the rest in my opinion: ASTYM and Graston. Both require certifications and so when you go to someone who is certified you should be getting a clinician who knows what they are doing. I happen to be Graston certified, but that is because that is the courses, certification and tools that Intermountain Healthcare was willing to pay for me to obtain. Although most clinicians will argue that whatever certification they have is better than the other I happen to believe that both techniques are incredible and that more important is that you have a clinician that knows their stuff. In short, if your patient is a good PT then absolutely, without hesitation.
