If you’ve had surgery (minor or major), and have been given the okay to start moving again, you may feel tightness, pins and needles near the scar, and sometimes muscle weakness and scar pain. Non-invasive therapy is available to help.
Post-Surgery Scar Therapy
Scar tissue and fascial* restrictions can be detected and broken down using the Graston Technique®. This non-invasive, evidence-form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization can help improve (a) the appearance of the scar, (b) its mobility, (c) and blood flow to surrounding tissues. Whether the scar is large or small, old or new, Graston scar tissue therapy can help. Watch The Graston Technique at work!
*Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up. [Source: John Hopkins Medicine]
A case study present by Dr. Todd Narson shows how the Graston Technique tools are effective in treatment of scar pain as a result of an ACL knee ligament repair surgery. Read it HERE.
