Graston Technique® Introduces: Online Course With CE Credits &  GT Forum Podcast Dear Athanasios,  As part of our commitment to continuing education, I am pleased to announce a new initiative. We have partnered with MedBridge Education to develop an online course, "Graston Technique®: Treating Movement Dysfunction Through Functional Testing, GT and Adjunctive Therapies."   Taught by GT Clinical Advisor Jackie Shakar, the 5-hour, accredited training highlights the principles of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and regional interdependence. We're very excited to deliver this unique course for clinicians who want to expand their IASTM knowledge and treatment parameters and to those who seek a comprehensive introduction to IASTM and GT. (Note: This online course is complementary to our regular lab trainings. It does not replace our M1 training, which is required to purchase GT instruments.) I also want to introduce The Graston Technique® Forum, a monthly podcast featuring the applied science of GT and how it can bring value to both clinicians and patients. Featuring case studies, research and company news, The Graston Technique® Forum is a way to broaden your outlook on instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and its industry leader, Graston Technique, LLC.  I had the honor of moderating a panel of distinguished guests: Jackie Shakar,  PT, DPT, OCS, ATC, LMT, Richard E. Vincent, DC, FICC and Mike Ploski, MS, MEd, PT, ATC, OC. This year marks our 20th anniversary as we "Reintroduce the Graston Technique" to you. I hope you enjoy the conversation! We hope these offerings advance your knowledge of GT and IASTM. Please share your comments with us so we can look for ways to support your clinical efforts and help you continue to expand your education. Our goal is to be an on-going, value-added partner to you and your practice. Sincerely, Todd R. Lugar President & CEO Graston Technique, LLC
