Scar massage

[cjsmith]

I'd like a quick tutorial (if there is such a thing) on scar massage. My doctor mentioned there was scar tissue deep inside each foot, and she recommended I massage the area where my incision is.

mactavish? kineticphoenix? others?

I've googled and this is the most helpful thing I found.

Potential complication: pain is not a reliable warning sign in this case. Much of this area is now permanently numb except for phantom pain.

Thanks! Knowing what's "too deep" is kind of odd when much of the scar tissue sits halfway between the top and the bottom of the foot, between two bones. :-) If I could only FEEL it!

I've got some racquetballs for the plantar fascia -- wonderful, those. Golf balls sound good for a little more focused effort on the ball of the foot.

I wish you a good recovery from your injury. Groin pulls seem to take time.
