Plantar Fasciitis fixed right Away! No Surgery. with Gua Sha for the calves and feet/ graston

[@marciaweilenman6618]

I have had painful Planter Fasciitis for 2 years. I have had 2 steroid injections and sent home with no instructions for stretching, massaging or strengthening. I have numerous lumps in my interior calf area and achilles. I started the massage and within 1 week the lumps are almost gone. I think this is the right method to help PF. I also do eccentric calf exercises and stretching daily. Hoping this will keep me from visiting the doctor money machine again. Your gua sha video is exactly what I do.

[@DamonMedekMusic]

I broke both my ankles a couple years ago and this video is really ahead of the curve. This is the information I needed when I kept going back to the hospital for plantar facittis. Kelly starrett and natural medicine has been the most helpful thing in my life.

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Kelly Starrett is great! Yeah traditional western medicine is quite frustrating. I have people all the time on my table that say they were told they need surgery, or orthotics, or pain meds (yeah they didn't). and I'm sorry you broke your ankles. Sheesh. How did you do that.

[@DamonMedekMusic]

@@Zionsedgemassage I do motocross and cam short on a landing. the best thing I use atm is something called voodoo wrapping. I'll put it tight around my ankle and then run a minute. does a great job.

[@TheAutumnWind_RN4L]

​@@DamonMedekMusic Voodoo flossing really helps on my rotator cuff, too.

[@Emberlights]

I have been waking up with aching feet first thing in the morning. I tried this today and I've had almost 0 pain all day. Which is a first in a while! Thanks so much!

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Shayna Gorton that is so good to hear! I’m really happy to know it helped. What tool did you use?

[@Emberlights]

Zions edge massage I got creative and just used whatever I had around. sometimes just my hands.

[@Zionsedgemassage]

That is awesome. Yes Asians use jar lids pretty regularly and they work great

[@StuPedahso]

You just need someone to suck on your toes the right way!

[@borisvera5805]

Where are you located, I live in New York I need this tools

[@almahernandez1941]

I'm so glad that I stumbled onto your video. I had a severe injury to left foot-calcaneal fracture, damage to my achilles, as well as other injuries. My foot/achilles injury resulted with a diagnosis of CRPS, and because it was a workman's comp injury, it resulted in delay/denial of treatments. I was in an AFO and ultimately had a Spinal Cord Stimulator permanently implanted. I was put in an AFO and told that it was a permanent disability. I'm a nurse of over 40 years and have pushed back with respect to having to wear an AFO permanently. Because my injury was a workman's comp injury, I could not use my private insurance. It was a blessing that the CROS diagnosis was not a "compensible" injury (not covered by workman's comp insurane) so i decided to get a 2nd opinion with respect to the CRPS diagnosis and treatment. Long story short, the doctor that I saw specializes with CRPS and other injuries, PM&R, Pain management and worked in the military with those returning from war with various injuries from TBI to burns, amputations, etc. He told me that he did not agree that I had "foot drop", and said that the AFO was doing more damage to my leg. He prescribed PT, using Gastron techniques and other PT therapies. The PT who is treating me has his Ph.D in "movement" and he has accomplished more in the short 3 weeks that he has treated me than I had since my injury in 2011. He uses "pain decentralization", mobility adjustments, and uses Gastron tools. So, my question is with respect to the difference between Gastron technique vs Gua Sha that you use in this video. I would like to learn more about this. I feel that I lost many years (was in a brace for 8 years) as I was told that I needed to accept that I had a permanent disability, but I thank God that I have control of my life again. Thank you and God bless you for sharing your knowledge and for the support and hope you offer to others.

[@1Lightdancer]

Lovely!! I'm a long time massage therapist, and have been experiencing plantar pain Saw a doctor's suggestion of using a tool, and thought of my gua sha stones! Bingo! Several folks had mentioned calf and foot stretches, this is a perfect compliment! And good to hear of your success with your own pain!

[@kimmy123651]

I'm a runner and have been marathon training,,my plantar flared up a few weeks ago after a long run... I had some painful physio on it a few days ago, and its really starting to feel better.he also told me to use my gua sha on it,as well as exercises and stretches for it,itsso good to see your video and know what to do,thankyou,feeling hoprful🙏

[@maybeldiaz6683]

The best video, thank youuu, God bless you 🙏🙏

[@hong8769]

Wow, I didn't know it's so effective on my plantar fascia . I try every method except this, tks for sharing

[@cre8tiveone710]

After 2 cortisone shots ...steroid pills, I tried this and it works. I was miserable yesterday started doing it last evening and all day today feel much better I hope this continues in the right direction of no pain thank you for this video. I actually ordered the Jade rubbing tool set from Amazon

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Dr. Nipple yes!! So great to hear! Absolutely the right direction. That’s what I live about Gua sha- it works so fast. Keep looking for those fascisl adhesions every 2-3 days and it will stop bothering you for good.

[@arjanpetersen]

You should have tried heroine... helps Good against plantar

[@blueeyesandmudpies]

Hey any updates?

[@willking1535]

Very informative, thank you. I just received my tool today and will be using it for my plantar fasciitis in conjunction with an electric foot massager that I've been using which does a decent job of digging into my painful heel. I was wondering if you thought it would be better to do one before the other?

[@matthewdaniels4053]

Thank you for the video. I love how we can combine different modalities to help patients heal. That is our ultimate goal. I also think it’s critical that we share where our knowledge came from so that we don’t appropriate any culture or dismiss the heritage and medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The practice of Gua Sha has been used for thousands of years. One may see Sha ( similar to western broken capillaries) on the surface after scraping. This is normal and it’s a sign that you are in the right spot. The color will tell you a lot more about the Sha that presents. In Chinese medicine, one would always end a Gua Sha treatment with Moxa ( pole moxa) so the patient isn’t vulnerable to external diseases. There’s a ton to read about and a plethora of articles on Gua Sha. It works, try it and become educated. Thank you.

[@MrAlligator3]

Such a helpful video. Thank you!

[@paradoxicalcanons]

This is freakin' brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@lyntaylor4131]

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Leah D I’m so glad it was useful!

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Your welcome Leah!

[@wellnesswith.sammie6114]

amazing video, i shared with my friend too!!

[@navneetyadav3941]

Thank you!!

[@hengwilson7804]

Hi Dr, can I do this treatment myself if I don’t have access to a qualified gua sha therapist? If yes, are there any videos you would recommend? Which scraping lotion would you recommend? I have had plantar fasciitis on my right leg for the last 7 years. Whenever I squat, I feel a lumpy muscle knot on the upper right calf and it hurts more to lean into my right side. Would gua sha help?

[@soniaalejandra9607]

What is the name or links of the tools? Can’t find the description when I open up the video. Please help :)

[@Heggsabee]

Gua Sha is sometimes known as spooning because a Chinese ceramic soup spoon is frequently used. The handle makes it easy to treat people too!

[@waynegram8907]

What is that handle bar tool called? to message the calves

[@hazeylulu]

As a kid i grew up doing gua sha even when i was sick my grandmother would coin my back! And i would instantly feel better from a cold. I hate to consume 💊

[@mlcarv]

How much pressure do you apply?

[@Zionsedgemassage]

It's hard to give an exact number because we have all have different pain tolerances, but it's good to kind of look at the coloring as you are going. But you can go with pretty firm pressure. Some fascia is on the surface, and some is in between muscles. If it gets purple and really starts to be tender, I would stop and wait a week to do more.

[@tabeensaeed3114]

i feel vibration and sensation in my legs and feet .. does this technique help with this ??

[@djgam3r715]

I don't have the right tools to start . Would like to know if this might help feet that have water retention.

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Hi DJ - you can actually start with a. jar lid that you have in your kitchen! And it def can help water retention.

[@benjaminchiu4231]

If you are in the United States and you happen to need a IASTM guasha tool, I can provide you with one for free,just contact me ,here is my email [e-mail].

[@divineselfhealing4322]

Hey where can I buy tools ?

[@lolnamelollastname9788]

Are calves supposed to be this loose and malleable, like a cat's primordial pouch? Mine only get like that when I don't walk for a while

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Yes- a healthy muscle will be very spongy at rest. Otherwise it's constantly under tension.

[@kathryndesantis1800]

please show tools used thank you!

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Kathryn DeSantis I link to my favorite in the description.

[@sentrize5074]

Do you any oils whilst scraping? if so which ones would you recommend please? thank you!

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Hi Hans - I use coconut oil and it works marvelously.

[@Nicholas-I]

Is it bad I am taking a collage course in sport therapy just because it looks so satisfying and I am genuinely interested but mainly because it looks soooi satisfying

[@MechoPyh]

Very helpful info and great legs.

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Awww. Thanks and I'm glad it helped!

[@57serene]

I'm been gu Sha on my legs for years... It would be much better if you are using ginger oil & coconut oil which help in delox your legs. It's really help 😂

[@Zionsedgemassage]

serene low I love using coconut oil❤️

[@bronxchick2997]

Your legs are so squishy 😄 i know mine is not going to even jiggle. I have a ways to go

[@Zionsedgemassage]

I once had a client tell me to never call her legs squishy 😉😆. Yes that is a great way to know they are relaxed and hydrated. Have you started trying gua sha?

[@alphaman2702]

What's with your scarred left arm?

[@Zionsedgemassage]

Birthmarks:)

[@gamerlady1860]
