Scar Tissue Mobilization After Total Hip Replacement Surgery

"I was not able to sleep comfortably after my hip replacement, and my sleep was already worse before surgery. This has been very stressful!
After surgery, I also had that tightness around the surgical scar. It bothered me throughout the day and kept me awake all night. I expressed this to my surgeon. I did read that it is a common area for post-op discomfort. That tightness and discomfort in the side of the joint went away after I did some gentle scar tissue mobilization, exactly as how my therapist taught me. I do it at home with Cannabissina Soothing Cream because of the relaxing benefits I get from the aloe and menthol. As a veterinarian, I know that recovery requires more than doing the exercises correctly. The other components of good orthopedic outcomes are sleep, recovery, and scar tissue management. I did all my activities today and thank Cannabissina Soothing Cream for all the help."
