I just received my first treatment and while I am sore I am amazed at the improved range of motion - bruises are also forming..

I'm glad it feels like it's helping!!!! I think I was getting my treatment in the wrong spot to help my neck although I surely wouldn't want the tool digging on my neck! Good luck!

The picture was taken right after treatment? Ouch! Glad it helped though.

The pic was taken about 90 minutes after the treatment in a locker room. I was getting ready to swim and a total stranger asked me if I had been in some type of an accident. I said no and asked her to take a picture with my cell phone. She took the pic but said she would not testify in court. I guess she thought I had been beaten. The discoloration goes away in 2 days or so but comes back every time you get a treatment.

I had 12 Graston treatments last spring on my upper back hoping to help my neck. It is painful but the feeling of euphoria after the treatment is worth it. I would not compare it to child birth....definitely not that bad!! The worst thing about it was the feeling that the tool was going to rip my skin. After the treatment your skin will be bruised for a couple days but it goes away and really doesn't hurt much after. I truly do not think the Graston helped my neck much but my upper back seemed to flex up and feel better. forums.usms.org/attachment.php
