A member asked:
Is it normal to do physical therapy every day for the first 2 wks to keep scar tissue from reforming? one opinion says yes other says wait a week
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on what: It depends on what scar you are trying to decrease. If it is post op you have to wait until there is healing or you can rupture the scar and/or whatever was operated on.
