Mfr less traumatic I feel on the person and on your knee … mfr focus on the tissue bands that get tight around your muscles ….when I go for mfr when I was super tight the first time I went I had gotten some relief but only last few days …. But I continued to go to mfr session would carry over longer ….. I had mua not saying it does not work but for me I regressed even more …..I got very swollen you are supposed to go to pt one week after I did two days pt told me stay home And elevate and ice…. So for me made it worse ….I did not know about mfr yet at that time if I had I would have made another choice….. but my first tkr Nothing was helping mua made unbelievable painful…. A few months later I am still in pain found this site found mfr …. Mfr with bad knee made it tolerable….. I was like wow last tkr dealt with all this swelling and pain ….revision mfr no swelling less pain this recovery has been amazing….I hope this answers your question Joe
