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.

That is a classic technique for foot massage. I would just be careful not to push the metatarsal heads too far since there is no ligament to hold things in check. See how far the go on a friend and use that as a guide.

Long story short - wiggling them a bit is a good idea. ;)
