This past November, I was privileged to speak on Graston Technique at the 2nd Fascia Research Conference in Amsterdam. There is much to report about the new material that was presented at the conference, which I will do in this and future articles. I became especially interested at the final day of the six-day conference when I attended a workshop titled "The Fascial Manipulation Technique and Its Biomechanical Model - A Guide to the Human Fascial System." The course was presented by Carla Stecco, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and assistant professor of human anatomy and movement sciences, University of Padova, Italy; and Julie Ann Day, a physiotherapist also from Padova.

At a recent seminar, I was teaching how to correct the adductors. As I circumducted the supine patient's left hip joint, she experienced pain at the pubic ramus when the thigh was adducted medially and moved from superior to inferior. One of the doctors standing nearby blurted out that the patient had a labral tear. This opened the opportunity for discussion about acetabular labral tear signs and symptoms.

Before employing rehabilitative exercise in the office or counseling a patient on rehabilitative exercises to be performed at home, you must have a basic understanding of soft-tissue injuries. This understanding will help in all aspects of rehabilitation including stretching, aerobic exercise and strength training.
