Regarding scar tissue - its also my understanding that scar tissue continues to form/solidify for the first 18 months. You might try ART (Active Release Technique) to break up of the scar tissue. Like Graston, a chiropractor will usually do this for/with you.

Rick Mehafy - is good chiro in the bay area (redwood city) that does alot of myofascial release type work.

thanks for posting -- and good luck with your continuing recovery....
Thanks... I've had a couple EMGs, the last one was a while back. Nothing abnormal showed up for LTN. Is it possible that if I just overstretched it, that nothing abnormal would show up on the EMG?
