PT to break up scar tissue?

[Charlie]

The key is getting the right amount of steroid for the right size scarring, and having CT guidance.

I would agree with you there. Having guided injections is vital.

Hey Charlie the therapist I use is called Paul Clinch ,he has been a Remedial Therapist for the Australian swim team for over 10 years .
The answer to the second part is he does not work on the nerve it self but he works on the surrounding tissue such as fascia,ligaments and muscle .

Good luck with this treatment. The problem I would have with that is how much knowledge does a massage therapist (not a PT) have of nerve entrapement? If you have an entrapment the muscles will always become tight again.

Hey Charlie The physiotherapists in Australia are not that good as i have found ,these massage therapists are on the Olympic team ,i have seen 2 so far and both have said the Olympic therapists go through a lot of physiotherapists as they are not good enough . You would have a higher standard of physiotherapy in USA , it's the therapists who have hands on who can feel the problems and can do extensive types of testing ,which become good therapists ,regardless of their title .

Yeah just a update i have have had good success with the massage therapist on Olympic team , i am PNE pain free now yeah Ha , i am am going to post it on the success stories , been trying now for a while but get a bit long winded with the journey .He gets in breaks up the fibrous tissue and adhesion's the only massage therapist who did there job properly
cheers

That's great, Aussie! I would be interested to hear more about how they treated you. Did you have any internal work done?

Thanks Helen and Violet , I still need to condense my story / journey of PNE , I think I might try and keep it simple and just put the things we need to ask and check when we see doctors and therapists , as there are toooooo many horror stories to tell , and we need all our basis covered when we see these Doctors and therapists as I found there is a lot B.S. said by these people to promote themselves and just want our money , we all need to be smarter , but it is hard when we are in pain and on meds and learning about our condition .I will try and pass on some of the wisdom I have learnt , hopeing someone else’s journey will be shorter .
Cheers
