Has anyone tried the Active Release Technique for your muscles. I had my first session last Thursday and paid for it over the next two days but seems to be better now. I don't know if I am going back for more or not. I just ran out of sick time at work and currently using vacation time and have filed for disability which will take another two months for approval. I am really battling whether I can be back at work. My SCM and scalene muscles are like rocks and it causes all kinds of problems. The therapist really worked the traps,scalene and pecs and said I have a lot of scar tissue. ACT is working to break up scar tissue so you can stretch better. I am a police officer and I am not sure I can handle all the driving and report writing. I know that my days as a SWAT officer are over since the physical demand is to much. I still have a lot of spasms, tingling, and of course pain in neck, shoulders and arms. I can not take pain meds or muscle relaxers if I was to return to work. I seem to have all my strength still, but do have some shoulder instability. I am working with PT to strengthen back muscles, but I am going to need another surgery to repair a torn labrum. This TOS is so frustrating right now.
