Muscle scar tissue

[starcloud]

Hello everyone—first post. I didn't see cross-friction massage mentioned, but I highly recommend it as part of the maintenance/healing of old injuries (speaking from too-extensive experience here). That's the one thing that successfully and reliably breaks up adhesions and keeps some very small muscles mostly happy in my back that otherwise would give me hell all the time. I do it against a door/wall with one of these (no affiliation):

Definitely worth the money. For me at least. It's the reason I was willing to try riding a bike again after 20 years of not riding one, which is a heck of an endorsement of this modality in applicable circumstances. I don't know if I'd try long distances, but I can do it all, which I didn't expect would happen.

(Just read that last line at the link: "The therapist can achieve a substantial financial reward in selling the Spikey Ball to his/her clients." Yuck, but the thing works...ignore that bit.)
