Soft tissue mobilization techniques in treating chronic abdominal scar tissue: A quasi-experimental single subject design.
Abstract
Roughly 17 million abdominal surgeries are performed annually in the U.S. Up to 17% of those may be readmitted for adhesion related problems. This study evaluated the effectiveness of soft tissue mobilization (STM) techniques at improving chronic pain, mobility restrictions and functional deficits following complex abdominal surgery.
