Listening to Dr. Kemenosh, Dr. Gross, and a patient converse today, a very good point was brought up that for the sake of patient care, it’s sad that Active Release and IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation i.e. Graston, FAKTR) doesn’t come up sooner when sufferers are surfing Google looking for help.
