I would just like to point out that there is a low cost, entry level stainless steel tool available @ http://www.starrtool.com/Stainless.htm I would really like to see some comparison of the different "flavors" of IASTM (Graston vs. ASTYM vs. SASTM) to objectively see if there really is that much difference in the outcomes of treatment in their tools and methods. Just want to know if there is a significant difference or are the outcomes really all about the same. My feeling is they are all about the same.....but it would not be the first time I have been wrong. Thanks.
