That's what you want. Make the tissue "twinge" 10-15 times (1 second twinges) 3-6 sessions a day for 6-8 weeks.

You know you're doing it right if the pain stops immediately or within at most 30 minutes of stopping the activity.

If you don't "twinge" it regularly, your body will never get the message that the scar tissue needs to be remodeled. If it doesn't remodel, it will never improve.

ETA: it doesn't matter what the activity is, as long as it recreates your twinge you feel on the bike. Find something simple that won't take you more than a minute, because you'll be doing it a lot for the next couple months!
