Scar tissue after knee replacement

Please tell me where I get a brace with a hand crank to break up scar tissue. I believe that is why I cannot straighten my leg. It is very painful. I am over 9 months out of tkr. No Dr seems like they are concerned to even try to help me.

@ammaw52 How about a physical therapist who can treat surgical scar tissue? You may be interested in myofascial release. I have done this a lot with my physical therapist who is trained in this technique and it has realled helped me. Here is our discussion and there is a provider search at http://mfrtherapists.com/.

Have you heard of or tried Myofascial Release Therapy before?
