Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Torn thigh muscles. Scar tissue
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Last year my thigh muscles got torn quite badly in a slip on some ice whilst flying my model planes. rolling eyes

The muscles have healed fine and I had no trouble skiing this year. However if I run or lift a heavy load it feels like I am tearing the muscles again. I am thinking that this is due to scar tissue stopping the muscle fibres sliding over each other smoothly.

Can anyone confirm this and suggest any remedy? Or is it back to the Physio again and if so what will they do?

Get a foam roller http://runningtimes.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=9911

My lads have them for rugby rehab. Can be very sore when used but is a very effective self administered deep massage.

Michael B, I'd suggest the physio, I smashed my femur skiing and seem to recall something similiar happening, stretching, ultra sound etc seemed to help

kitenski, I've got a referral to the physio. Don't know when I'll get to see them. Looking at various sites deep massage seems to be the order until I get to the Physio. Another job for Mrs B. Laughing

Michael B, I can only comment about treatment for torn calf muscle, but am sure theory is the same, scar tissue rebuilds itself like the dried spaghetti in the bottom of a pan, a mess of fibres. Massage in the appropriate fashion will help to strengthen the fibres by straightening them out making them more resistant to repetitive injury.

Sports massage will help remodel the scar tissue. You can find reputable ones on http://www.thesma.org/

I wouldn't get your wife to massage your legs to break down scar tissue unless she has had some training - she could be causing you more damage!
