Thanks for your responses. Pt for me was stretching bands, etc. She did do ultrasound and some massage which felt good but with the other it triggered pain. Thank you for the book info. I will download and see what info i can find. I have already had a rib resection and scalenectomy and am hoping i am done with surgery. ALOT of stress because we own our own business and hubby is pushing me to work. I am trying to lay off as much as possible. Thanks, Linda
