In reply to massage after surgery, posted by Pandabear on July 18, 2004, at 16:13:13
Panda, I ruptured my achilles tendon 5 years ago and had it surgically repaired. Once I got my staples out, my physical therapist immediately began massage. This was about 10 days after surgery. Massage was encouraged because it helps break up any internal scar tissue which may form.
