From the vault: Using myofascial needling for scar tissue mobilization…

After watching this video, and sending it to my young and “gung ho” female physio, we decided to try this technique on myself. I have a 30 year old scar from a deep cut below my big toe, in the pad under the first metartarsal. At the time the doctor did a quick stitch job, and the nerves and tissue were just poked back in. My toe has always been stiff and nervy, and recently the whole plantar fascia has been tight and painful. Anyway, we performed the accupuncure for scarred fascia, as shown in your video, on half the scar that was above the sole line, 2 days ago. The results were immediate. That half of the scar now feels loose and no longer nervy. My physio is reluctant to needle past the sole line, because traditionally that is a no go zone. Do you think we should try? Yes, it was painful, but worth it. I have been having massages, fascial release and exercises for the past 3 years, form whomever I could find with any knowledge, but the plantar fascia was not improving where the scar was. We are in Queensland Australia, so thank you Dr Spina for your great blogs. Maybe one day soon you can come here and do some seminars. Australia is just waking up to these techniques, and I am happily waving the flag to anyone who will listen. But it’s not easy. As you can tell, I am not a professional health person, just a 63 year old woman who thinks there must be better ways to keep well than pills and elective surgery.
