We Don’t Break Up Scar Tissue

[@chr1staki]

I like the concept of the fascia being an ‘exoskeleton’… makes it easy to understand and visualise

[@samgachupin5546]

Kelly! Man, you don't know how much I needed to see this! I'm nothing but scar tissue comprised after multiple surgeries over 12 years. So good 👍

[@katelyse]

My son had an abdominal surgery at 1 week old. We got none of this advice from his doctors. It took us recognizing problems three years later in his hips and legs before we saw a pt- who traces all the problems to the adhesions in his abdomen. 🤦‍♀️ thank God for PTs

[@justinava1675]

Thats nice that you cared about your kids hips and legs. My parents just ignored it. And i just toughed through it

[@Stevenowski]

The information I came looking for starts at 2:35!

[@FrankLopez-n7p]

I use microcurrent to reprogram the collagen matrix. Some call it scar tissue release. It is NOT a break up of tissue but much like combing tangles out of hair, all the fascia and the collagen begins to have the same elasticity and reaction as the surrounding tissue.

[@docksloan]

Really valuable information! Roll, slide and glide! Empowering patients is huge for adequate healing.

[@kmsy200]

Thank u so much I subscribed you . This is the best video I found so far . I had total knee replacement my motion and extension not good after 3 months . And surgeon said he can't do anything you must be like this rest your life . Which I don't belive that . God made us beautifully in his way . Always body can be healed in some time . My scar is tight as you were showing couldn't lift up the skin 😢😢😢

[@swifts6566]

Thanks for this I am now 14 years old, when I was born I had a Timor on my inner leg and may have gotten amputated as the Timor I had was one of the worst ones I could’ve gotten luckily after 8 months of treatment I am now fully recovered with both my legs still intact

[@josegabrielsanchez793]

I stayed with 105 degrees of flexion and cannot hyperextend the knee, also I developed severe Osteoarthritis in the knee..

[@nadayada]

​@@josegabrielsanchez793Wow. I'm sorry to hear. I had a patella tendon repaired but I did months of physical therapy. Did you finish yours?

[@Cmkrs34]

​@@josegabrielsanchez793just seeing your 1 yr post now. Ive had loss of hyper extension but have 115 degrees flexion. However ive had 33 yrs of daily chronic pain fluctuating from 1 to 9 due to extension loss. I snapped ACL plus collateral ligaments and fractured a femoral condyle when hit by a cab. In addition my peripheral nerves from surgery never repaired. Ive been near suicidal twice with pain levels. Im 63 now and my life has been destroyed almost by this injury. Physio Pain Clinics and meds all failed me. Heat works to some extent to kill pain but that leaves me lonely alot due to being confined to home most of the year. Im glad ive cancer now as itll bring an end to my life of pain n suffering. Ive fought hard all along an ive had good days or months when pain was below a 5 but now every day is a 5 t 8 pain level. I dont know how ive never lost my sense of humour n gratitude for the little things and the rare understanding types that held me up at times when i wanted to die.

[@stephenr85]

What about the idea of fibrotic adhesions that limit the "slide and glide"? Isn't that technically scar tissue? If that's the case, it would help to know the difference between that kind of scar tissue and a healed wound type of scar tissue, and what specifically is limiting the tissue articulation, if it's not scar tissue or as simple as hydration.

[@Holypikemanz]

I think this whole bs video is something about appeasing insurance companies. Its fibrosis, or scar tissue, or cross linkage, and its being stretched by the PT and then broken down by the body. He is tone policing his own services, its werid. But hes a fing boomer anyway.

[@komitaskomitaskomitas]

@@Holypikemanz how does your body break it down? Aren't the same fibroblasts that produce the fascia the same ones that break it down? Does it really get broken down?

[@komitaskomitaskomitas]

@@Holypikemanz this video is good. I'm trying to find more information about connective tissue. If the fascia, ECM, is stretched, is more connective tissue produced? If somebody has a disease that overproduces collagen which leads to mortal hardening of the arteries, does stretching muscles and organs,. Work collagen producing fibroblasts?

[@TheJackl317]

Hello I have been having extreme pain in my shin, calf, and inner side of my knee after TKR I had a serious break in the tabula and fibula bones and knee joint three years ago and several operations to fix those issues the tightness is very painful I exercise regularly and while I'm working out the pain gets a bit better but the pain returns soon after. During the original break the perennial never had been pinched by the broken bone back there they said looking at the x-ray that the bones had healed all the way through but I still have lots of pain in these areas very had to deal with 😭

[@azeemali7102]

Honesty Amen, it sometimes takes years to rehab...

[@CoachPiuze]

Took 40 years yo finally stoping having pain and cramp from appendice surgery... but I don't know why it disapeared. It was better after I start doing tacfit and Scott Sonnon ground exercises I think. Lot of things get better after that. Now I have an hell of a life since 4 years and a meniscus tear. It's a bummer. Feel like an old man who never get back like before. I didn t want to feel that pain and limitation never ahgain so I do nothing to hurt my knee. Watching TV is the secure sport now.

[@mikeknuckles6430]

Your opinion on the JAS SPS device, also known as a static stretcher. At PT can bend knee to 115 , 30 minutes later knee is back at 95-100*, and can’t even come close to getting back to 115*

Great info here and none of it has been relayed to me by my Dr. or PT. I'm 4 weeks in after knee replacement and can barely get to 90 degrees. Getting pretty scared to be honest! Just ordered the hyperice and will start skin rolling although the skin at the lower end of my knee is extremely tight! Thx again!

[@HeidiSue60]

Very interesting. I’m six weeks after my TKR and getting to about 110° flexion and extension is lousy probably 7° or 10°. My doctor pretty much scolded me at my six week check up that I have not been diligent enough with my range of motion exercises. What I’d like to know, if you see this, about five months after you posted and I’d like to know if these exercises helped you with your range of motion?

[@radosuites7058]

I’m four weeks after meniscus cleanup and cartilage repair. I have a bump on one of the incisions which i presume is scar tissue. freaking out a lil, is it too late to start to try to get rid of this cyst

[@amyr3285]

I’m the same way as you. Doing almost 90 degrees after a month of surgery for the same. I’m afraid to do manipulation, which my therapist has told me about. She says I’ll need PT everyday after it’s done. I wish I had seen this video earlier.

[@TheKenstout]

I ended up doing manipulation. Best move I ever made! Highly Highly recommend it. I was at 110 they Put me under and I came out at 125 and didn't lose any of it. Yes you have to keep going to PT but that was no issue for me.

[@amyr3285]

Update: After knee manipulation, which had to be done because of scar tissue being a problem, I am able to bend now 115 degrees. The goal is 120. Don't know if I can do that. Its hard enough to do 115. My doctor has me taking an Oxycodin (5 mgs I think) before therapy, win order to ease pain. I can't wait until all of this is over.

[@Tagerh]

Would love to see this too!

[@backtohealthyactive4355]

He has interesting perspective. The most important is gradually loading the tissue. Being able to slow down/control forward movement of the knee with muscles rather than knee joint. If progressed properly, also working on ankle/hip motion along the way, it will have huge benefits.

[@bluewaters3100]

Try incorporating "backwards" walking into a walking program...work up to at least 10 minutes. It strengthens ligaments and tendon areas that normally do not get a good blood flow. I tore ligaments in my right foot when I had a clean ankle break. It took a long time to heal. The numbness is from nerves being cut... Whatever you can do to move your foot will help but the "backwards walking" really helped me the most and is easy to do. I go to a local middle school track and alternate regular walking with backwards walking. After just three days I was able to lay down without pain and get some good sleep again.
