Scar tissue after knee replacement

I had a total knee replacement 8 weeks ago and have the same problem - scar tissue that limits bending my knee. Plus it is getting worse. PT is extremely painful and not working. I went to a dermatologist who told me to consider Astym, which I am looking into. Google it to learn about it. Hope this helps. Once I start I will let you know how it goes.

Astym looks interesting. I’ve done a number of massage therapy techniques that have helped with my pain associated with a double knee replacement. I’ve made a lot of progress, but I know I still have scar tissue that is limiting my ROM and still causing pain.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a therapist locally that deals with this type of treatment. I think I’m going to call PT groups to see if anyone does it
