Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Good question, Dennis. The steel tool gives the operator instant feedback on the quality and quantity of fibrosis and other subsurface irregularities. After 22 years of practice, I fancy myself as an excellent " palpator " , but the tools add a vivid third dimension to palpation. Acupuncturists have used GuaSha (stagnant blood) tools for 2000 or more years, which also provide fair to good feedback, but the treatment protocol is entirely different. Art =============================================== Graston Thank you for all your posts...what the diff between Graston Tech and just using a soft rock to do a fascial flush?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hey Marc: Is 97140 the code you use for Fascial Manipulation also or is there something more appropriate?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 The 97140 has to be to a different area than the manipulation.
