Hi DMK

Maybe you can share some details on your rolling pin therapy. I am trying to get ahead of my scar tissue issue to avoid a surgical tissue removal procedure. Even if I do Xbox ahead with it I want stay in front of the possibility of it returning.

Thanks

Everyday I would take roller and start at top of knee on one side roll down side of knee with pressure once at bottom of knee lifted roller back to top started again with timer set for 3 minutes on side both right and left side knee daily. Very uncomfortable at first but over time my pain was gone did this for a little over a year and did it daily.
My therapist is awesome. I tell him issues I have and he has been able to come up with a solution to date. He rehabbed me from my RTS and my TKR Good luck
