Aha! Worth trying, having ankle issues from a previous significant injury and thinking I likely have scar tissue in there. It was 6 years ago and betting it’s that and possibly arthritis from injuries sustained.
I equated it with massage because my previous long term WONDERFUL massage therapist did do it, I would be able to feel it sliding, especially on my upper and lower back areas. I’ve actually had another one who did it also. That one moved away and my last one left MT to become an RN. Haven’t found the right person since, sadly.

@wisco50 I think you are on to something. Remember to find an MFR therapist PT in your insurance network, call them and ask about the codes for manual therapy, then call your insurance to ask if those codes are covered. Discuss this with the therapist as they know how to document this for the insurance notes. I hope you can find a good therapist. Here is a provider search. http://mfrtherapists.com/
Come on back and share your progress when you can. There is also a lot you can do to self treat like laying on a couple balls. Put them where the tissue is hot, hard or tender. I sometimes use a foam block against a doorway and I press my body into it and push up to cause a shear. It is the shear that starts the fascia sliding. You can Also have a friend help if yo can give them instructions.
