Does massage help with site soreness from injections ??
Heat compressions and massaging the site can help dissipate the oil injected into the muscle. Its normal for a lump to be there for a couple days afterwards especially if they are injecting 2-3+MLs in a single large muscle group like glutes.
I am sure it can be really helpful especially breaking down scar tissue. Might not be the nicest feeling in the world but I am sure it helps them out a lot!
Massaging is a good idea and nothing bad doing it. Helps breaking down scar tissue and disperse the oil in to the blood stream.
there are other ways to break down scar tissue.
massaging the body can actually make injuries worse, it can also pinch nerves.
if you do it, find a person with experience who knows what they are doing, not some girl that works at a massage place in a strip mall

For shoulders, I use a lacrosse ball or have my girl use her fist and massage the injection site for a few minutes right after I pin. Same for my ass cheeks. I also roll out on a fairly firm foam roller for my ass. I haven't had a problem with scar tissue yet. I've also only been using for about 2.5 years so I dont have a TON of scar tissue.
following up to what was said above.
scar tissue forms to reinforce tears especially in your hips, joints, and shoulders. you will get it as you get older and continue to pound away. an example is if you tear your rotator cuff slightly and the body fills in that space with 'scar tissue'.. another example is injecting the same spot over and over and over again.. that is another way you get it
breaking it up is NOT what we want to do, that can actually backfire because that scar tissue is there for a reason in many situations .. instead we want to get rid of the old stuff and bring in new tissue to replace it. best way to kill off old scar tissue ? autophagy.

Interesting! I'll have to read up on autophagy. Glad I dont have much scar tissue as of now. I believe I've been getting more lately since I've been using a prop ester for the first time.
good points bro
Yes exactly. Its extremely common in the bodybuilding world. I had it done to my hamstrings and glutes to help my lower back and mobility. My physical therapist was a 250 lb bodybuilder. I had a spot in my ass he was breaking up where he dug his elbow hard into and put a ton of force and his bodyweight into it to break it up. It hurt like a mother fucker but sure was worth it when he was done
