How do you treat excess scarring after TKR?

Hi there @ezas123 Congratulations on your success with MFR. Actually, I am on my way to my MFR therapist in a few minutes. You will not suffer from excess scar tissue because the MFR process will make sure the fascia is not holding on and creating restrictions. Yes, it is expensive unless insurance will cover it. Are you working? Is Maria a certified OT? Insurance will help with the cost if your intention is to return to work.
When is your next session? You need to make sure you don't build up more scar tissue. That should also help you increase your ROM. Do you do the exercise where you hold a flat-out position for 5 or 10 minutes? That one helped me the most.
May you be content and at peace today.
Chris

I pay out of pocket my insurance does not cover …. No I am not working right now yes very expensive but like I said when I run out of cash I will charge as long as it is helping worth it …. The next day still feeling ok my leg I am able to get straight during exercise …. Once more scar tissue breaks down hope to bend better that is one thing feels new every time …I walked around store my gait I noticed much better…. I see Maria again Wednesday being a little more aggressive at first …..I am going to take in my exercise see what she suggest ….,,I have the worst time with bending only 70 if you have an exercise that helped I would be grateful if you shared thank you for your interest help god bless
