Scar tissue after knee replacement

Quite a bit of therapy, dry needling, massage therapy (who has been great) foam roller. I’m trying cupping and this is something one can do on your own so that cost is low. I’m going to ask about something called ASTYM - there are other names for it (ISTYM, rock blade) but it involves using a blunted instrument and working the soft tissue. I feel I need to work my iliotibial band and distal rectus femoris muscle (one of the front knee muscles). No clue if it will help my rubber band tightness issue but I know both are tight still despite all the stretching I do.

Please keep me up to date on results

I stretch that band several times a day oike i used to do with iceing. Past
scar tissue breaking, but that band swells and oushes against kneecap. The
pain is in the swelling pushing the knee cap. That's what my doc and PT
person says.
