Paddy has a muscle adhesion on the back of his butt area...down behind where the stifle is.

I've been reading Jack Meagher's book on beating muscle injuries, but I was wondering if in our technological age if there was any type of laser therapy that might work to break it up better than massage therapy?

I looked into Laser for GG's adhesions and scar tissue. Verdict is, laser only is proven to help with shallow lacerations. My surgeon used it at the Sydney games and it does work, but penetrates very little and works for helping the healing of tissue, but does not "break up" scar tissue and anything like that.

For the adhesions and scar tissue the recommended treatment is movement and massage. I also use Sore No More or just pure arnica gel.
