Scar Tissue/Muscle Tear Treatment

Purposes of our Scar Tissue/Muscle Tear Treatment

After many years of experience in sports injury and surgery rehabilitation, we have developed our own rehabilitation protocol for muscle tear and scar tissue formation.

This rehabilitation protocol combines different rehabilitative techniques such as:

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization ( IASTM ).
Diacutaneous Fibrolysis.
Sports Massage Techniques.
Heat Therapy.
Bandages Techniques.

IASTM technique utilizes special stainless steel tools with particular shapes and dimensions to fit all the body’s muscles, joints, and tendons.

Thanks to these tools we can break down the scar tissue formed after a muscle tear.

Furthermore, IASTM techniques are instrumental in easing all possible muscle tension, adhesions, and knots that occur in the area of the muscle injury.

With these tools, we can reduce the number of sections and speed up the recovery time.

Diacutaneous Fibrolysis (DF) is a noninvasive rehabilitation technique. DF is an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization developed from the Cyriax deep friction massage principles. It consists of a set of metallic hooks applied to the skin that allow deeper penetration and a more precise application than manual techniques, providing advantages in treating soft tissues such as muscle, tendon, and fascia.

Thanks to the expertise of our Sports Therapist and Physiotherapist, with this technique, they obtain a decrease in rigidity and an increase in relaxation of the injured muscle.

Sports Massage is a thorough sports massage therapy that helps to reduce muscle tension, soft tissue friction, and muscle rigidity, and increase muscle and joint mobility after a muscle injury.

Heat therapy is applied during the treatment with special heating pads. Heat therapy increases muscle relaxation making soft tissue manipulation more effective.

Furthermore, heat therapy increases blood perfusion speeding up the waste cells’ removal from the scar tissue break-down activity.

If the muscle tear is consistent and the symptoms are strong, we proceed with a bandage of the muscle injured. This will allow the muscle to be less stressed and get some support during the load of its contraction.

Benefits of our Scar Tissue/Muscle Tear Treatment

Our Scar Tissue/Muscle Tear Treatment provides a wide range of physiological and biomechanical benefits to the injured muscle such as:

Reduced scar tissue formation.
Increased connective tissue remodeling.
Increased blood perfusion of the soft tissues.
Increased muscle flexibility.
Reduced muscle rigidity.
Increased muscle relaxation.
Increase joint mobility.
Decrease soft tissue and joint friction.
Reduced muscle pain.
Increased muscle power.
Reduced tendon tension.

Why People Choose Our Scar Tissue/Muscle Tear Treatment

In this clinic, thanks to more than 18 years of experience in sports injuries, we have developed an alternative physiotherapy protocol to treat and cure muscle tears and scar tissue formation.

Generally, muscle tears are treated using the RICE Approach:

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

Basically, this is a Self-Healing Approach.

It works, but in our opinion, most of the time there are side effects of this approach.

The most important side effect is the entity of scar tissue formation.

The more the muscle tear is big in dimension and more the scar tissue formation.

During our muscle tear/scar tissue treatment, we perform instruments-assisted techniques aiming to facilitate the healing process and reduce scar tissue formation.

In order to have these effects we treat the torn muscle fibers in this way:

We try to reconnect as much as possible the two ends of the torn muscle fibers in order to reduce the formation of connective tissue.
We reduce the muscle fiber retraction that has formed at the two ends of the torn muscle.
We realign the muscle fibers to stimulate a better so-called sarcomere alignment during the remodeling process of the muscle tear.
We break down the excessive and not organized scar tissue formation.
We treat and massage all the other surrounding synergist muscles as they can express their maximum power to help reduce the biomechanical load on the injured muscle.

Despite there being a chance to treat and cure a muscle tear we advise our athletes to put in place a treatment plan for muscle injury prevention!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I always dread having to find a new physiotherapist as, frankly, many of them aren't great, don't really understand sports rehab and are entirely hands off but limit themselves to giving you a series of exercises to do. Not the case with Massimo...knowledgeable, very hands on and gave me some great advice. I will come back for sure

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Massimo is both experienced and gifted. In one session on my foot and ankle he brought about considerable improvement and has given me hope that with more treatment I can walk again without pain. My issue is very longstanding, so to find someone that could bring about such rapid improvement is testament to how talented he is. I wish Id found him sooner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first session with Massimo recently and it was fantastic.

Massimo was very thorough and post-treatment was able to provide excellent advice on what stretches to focus on, what exercises to do to maintain strength etc. Very knowledgable all round.

Looking forward to my next treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second review for Massimo who has been treating me regularly since August 2025.  My first 5-star review was written after 3 treatments which significantly reduced the pain and immobility I was experiencing which was caused by years of overtraining.  Regular treatments since then have completely transformed how my body feels and functions.  My flexibility and mobility have improved in ways that I didn’t think would be possible and this has converted into increased strength.  Massimo is exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable with a rare talent for finding and resolving restrictions via soft tissue work.  I highly recommend him.

First review:

Massimo’s knowledge is outstanding, and he is an exceptionally skilled practitioner with a gentle approach I have not experienced before.  After only 3 treatments, the pain and restrictions caused by overuse injuries have significantly improved; I had no idea that soft tissue work could be so effective so quickly.
