# Graston Technique Pressure Guide AI Agent Connect

> Graston Technique Pressure Guide MCP provides clinicians with real-time decision support for instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. Your AI client uses this tool to calculate specific force intensities, movement paths, and session durations based on tissue condition and inflammation levels. It also generates patient recovery instructions to ensure proper aftercare.

## Description

You can use this MCP to bridge the gap between Graston Technique methodology and your clinical practice. Instead of manually calculating force or timing, you ask your AI client for specific parameters based on the patient's current tissue state. It handles the heavy lifting of determining how much pressure to apply and which direction to move the instrument. 

When you are treating a patient, you can quickly check the appropriate movement paths for specific conditions like fibrosis. It also helps you manage the session length to avoid over-treating acute injuries. Once the session is over, the MCP provides the exact recovery instructions you need to give your patient. This keeps your treatments consistent and aligned with established Graston protocols.

## Tools

### get_aftercare_protocol
This tool provides the specific recovery instructions you need to give your patient after a session.

### get_pressure_parameters
Use this to find the exact physical force you should apply with your instrument.

### get_stroke_guidance
This tool identifies the correct mechanical movement path for your instrument application.

### get_treatment_timeline
This tool calculates how much time you should spend on a specific intervention.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What pressure should I use for a chronic tissue condition with low inflammation?
```

**Response:** 
```
For chronic tissue with low inflammation, the recommended pressure intensity is Medium.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the recommended stroke direction for a fibrotic forearm?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a fibrotic forearm, the recommended stroke direction is Longitudinal to facilitate fiber realignment.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long should I treat an acute injury with high inflammation?
```

**Response:** 
```
For an acute injury with high inflammation, the recommended treatment duration is 1-2 minutes, repeated every 3 days.
```

## Capabilities

### Force Calculation
Your agent determines the optimal physical force for the instrument based on tissue state.

### Path Identification
The AI identifies the mechanical movement paths required for specific tissue conditions.

### Session Timing
Your client calculates the appropriate duration for an intervention to prevent over-treatment.

### Recovery Planning
The MCP generates patient-facing instructions for post-treatment care.

### Condition-Based Logic
The tool adjusts all parameters based on inflammation levels and tissue type.

## Use Cases

### Acute Injury Management
Your agent calculates short, infrequent treatment windows for high-inflammation injuries.

### Chronic Tissue Treatment
The AI suggests medium pressure levels for chronic conditions with low inflammation.

### Fibrosis Realignment
You get specific longitudinal stroke guidance to help realign fibers in fibrotic areas.

### Patient Aftercare
The tool generates recovery instructions to hand off to patients after a session.

## Benefits

- Standardizes instrument application across different patient conditions.
- Reduces manual calculation of treatment times and pressure levels.
- Provides consistent aftercare instructions for patient recovery.
- Aligns clinical decisions with Graston Technique methodologies.

## How It Works

Connect your AI client to Vinkius and start querying clinical parameters immediately.

1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Ask your AI client for specific Graston parameters like pressure or stroke direction.
3. The AI uses the MCP tools to pull the correct data based on your patient's condition.
4. Apply the recommended technique during your clinical session.
5. Use the generated aftercare protocol to guide patient recovery.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP help with Graston Technique?**
It provides specific decision support for IASTM, including pressure, stroke paths, and treatment timing.

**Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

**Does it provide patient instructions?**
Yes, the get_aftercare_protocol tool generates recovery instructions for your patients.

**How does it handle different inflammation levels?**
The tool adjusts pressure, timing, and stroke guidance based on the specific inflammation and tissue condition you describe.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use as soon as you connect.

**How does the tool determine pressure intensity?**
The `get_pressure_parameters` tool calculates intensity by analyzing the intersection of the tissue condition and the current inflammation level.

**Can I get recovery instructions for my patients?**
Yes, using `get_aftercare_protocol` provides specific recovery instructions and activity restrictions based on the patient's clinical state.

**Does this support different anatomical areas?**
Yes, `get_stroke_guidance` provides movement paths for various areas including the upper limb, lower limb, spine, and foot/ankle.
