My surgeon prescribed massage. My OT does Myofacial Release Massage and that has really helped loosen up my neck fibrosis. My range of motion is better and so is my speech!

Hi sandy8043
How often is Myofacial Release Massage is required to see or feel results? (I have been going for physiotherapy sessions once every two weeks - since mid 2020). I don't feel any significant improvement, but then again if I were to not go for physiotherapy - it might get to the point where my situation could be worse.
I had my nasopharyngeal cancer treatment in 2006, and only in mid 2020 I had issues with swallowing and speech - and eventually diagnosed with severe neck fibrosis - which comes with trismus, dysarthria, dysphagia, etc etc.
