I will discuss a technique that I have found helpful called Gua Sha, also called scraping, to alleviate musculoskeletal issues. It possibly breaks down scar tissue or tense muscle tissue after rotator cuff surgery and rehab by creating petechia and ecchymoses in order to bring blood supply to the area that is an issue. The goal of this is to increase range of motion and relieve chronic pain. See the link below for an scientific article I found on Gua Sha or Scraping.
Here are the procedures I had done on my left and right rotator cuff and bicep.
1. Shoulder, diagnostic arthroscopy
2. Shoulder arthroscopic supraspinatus rotator cuff repair
3. Shoulder arthroscopic biceps tenodesis
4. Shoulder arthroscopic subacromial bursectomy
5. Shoulder arthroscopic debridement anterior and posterior labrum, subscapularis
6. Shoulder arthroscopic partial anterior and posterior synovectomy
