Breaking down subcutaneous scar tissue.

[Nate@Scarab]

For the uninitiated, I took an epic spill in a Speedweek criterium this spring. Slammed my hip into the pavement at 35-40mph without any asphalt burn to dissipate the impact:


Massive internal hematoma that team "doctor" refused to drain. It healed after about 2 months, but left a massive wad of scar tissue sitting under my skin that you can actually see. No amount of rolling seems to break it down, and it hurts like a MF.

Anyone with ideas?

Try castor oil packs.

Hmmm, I should see if my insurance will cover ROLFing. Coach suggested the same as well (he had a hip replacement and has done much of the same), but his ins won't cover it.

That is a tough angle to work however any deep tissue M.therapist worth their salt should be able to do this. It will not happen with just one or three sessions.

i have amazing insurance, but they laugh at alternative healing mumbo jumbo
Maybe your GP can recommend a PT that does the deep tissue route, etc...
