Scar tissue after knee replacement

I had the same experience. Therapist says partially due to Some scar tissue and layers of fascia that “fuse” together. My therapist has utilized MFR techniques. Cupping, other suction type devices, and finally just digging in with “scraping” tools. I’m also utilizing my stationary bike 40 minutes per day along with my therapy homework. Keep at it, I’m 7 weeks MUA and just reaching 120 on my own. Still have stiff feeling but starting to break up. I finally feel like I’m turning the corner in a positive direction just this past week. Hang in there. The hard work will pay off.

Thanks for sharing and your encouragement. What is the MFR technique?

Good evening @montem, and I think it is time for Happy New Year. I want to congratulate you on doing the "hard work" after your surgery. You are so right.....the hard work will pay off. Yes, the scar tissue has layers of fascia that become restricted. MFR techniques....remove the restrictions. Keep up the good work and please post so that others can benefit from your experience. 120 is a good ROM and the stiffness will go away when you continue the exercises for post-surgery.
What is your next recovery goal?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
