Thank you that was a great explanation I just recently had my 2nd knee replacement and my surgeon wants his patients in physical therapy within 2 days after surgery and that scar massage hurts very bad and I didn't know why it had to be done now I do I just know that it's very painful

After just having had a knee replacement, thank you so much for this great tutorial! I had no idea about how massaging this scar tissue can help in restoring full knee movement. One question, though. If I wait too long to perform this procedure, will it no longer work in regaining my knee flexibility again??

Very informative but my 5 week old knee replacement scar is painful. Show us on a real patient not a line drawn on someone’s leg

[@lorigolden7170]

I am a real patient there. 6 wks out. Part of the therapy includes this and what I can only call deep tissue massage. What is shown here does loosen up the knee range of motion. Also seems to aid circulation. I do it at home. It has helped. 🙂

This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "is vibration good for arthritis?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Ieyameron Unexpected Improvement - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to end your mind-numbing knee pain without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.

I'm a massage therapist, you should start with just vibration therapy....

Hi. Thanks for the info. Can you tell me how frequent would you do this per day?

[@milescabia]

How long does it normally take for scar tissue to breakdown?

[@paulamartinez4558]

Thank you. I do build scar tissue easily and when released to outside PT will ask about it.

[@TheYoungSavage]

Thanks, quite helpful :)

Good info, but could barely hear the information over the audio feedback.

[@janehobson2355]

And your medical qualifications are?

[@lorigolden7170]

Patient at OSC Newport News Physical Therapy. Wonderful place to go. I can attest to this kind of massage loosening tightness around scar and seems to improve circulation. Hope that helps. 🙂
