Osteopath soft tissue expertise - Graston Technique


iz

Recommended Posts

I have a horrid and debilitating tendon problem in my ankle (tenosynovitis of posterior tibial tendon to give it its scary name) My condition is now chronic; I've seen several physios and am on waiting list for steroid injection. Physio Consultant at Kings has suggested that there are few treatment options other than the injection (success not guaranteed) and rest with gradual reintroduction of exercise. Have any of you been treated for tenosynovitis or other soft tissue problems (specifically feet/ankles) and can you make any Osteo recommendations? I'm also looking for somebody local who practices the Graston Technique? as walking is an issue, I'd really like somebody local or within very easy reach on public transport - ie minimal walking. Any thoughts on Graston technique also gratefully received .. hoping it's not total woo-woo?

    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets. 
    • What mandatory action would then be required of them?
    • Probably will be mandatory once Digital ID comes in.    They can then use the cameras on the tills too to bring all sorts of other useful ancillary controls, such as limiting how much alcohol you buy each week, or monitoring and limiting the carbon footprint of the food you buy (some foods now are already showing the CO2 emissions consumed in producing them).
    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
