Everyone has scars, and some of those scars form adhesion in the body, causing pain or restricted range of motion. As I have worked on scars during massages (using Myofascial Release), I have been amazed at the results.
For example, one client had restricted range of motion in his knees because of ACL surgeries nearly 30 years ago. After the first massage on his knees, specifically working with the scar tissue, he reported increase in his range of motion and less pain. He received several subsequent massages and noticed even more improvement.
Another client had a latissimus dorsi flap breast reconstruction surgery. The large scars on her back restricted the range of motion in her shoulders and caused lower back pain. After receiving several massages which targeted her scar tissue, she regained much of her range of motion in her shoulder joints and reported decreased pain in her back - enough that she slept much better and could begin exercising again. In a future blog post, I will present the case study I did on this client.
