Massage to break up scar tissue after breast surgery
Rehabilitation Therapy Techniques

Surgery is a treatment that creates wounds to the body. Even though the external wound heals, the underlying tissue may have scar tissue that causes pain and reduces the movement of surrounding muscles. Massage to break up scar tissue is another important option that helps stimulate blood flow, accelerates the breakdown of scar tissue, and significantly increases the efficiency of recovery after surgery.
