The first couple sessions of physical therapy was pretty nice. Unlike other treatments that harm your body, this one only helps heal. Both of my breasts get a massage and cupping (something like a miniature version of ones they do on backs) for a total of 40 minutes to help break down the scar tissues. There's also a little massaging of the lymphatic system to help drain fluids. The first session was quite gentle and the therapist was careful to back off when there was pain. In the second session it was a different therapist and she worked the scars a little harder. When I winced in pain she acknowledged it with "I know, I know" like she was soothing a child, but didn't really ease up too much. It was tolerable though, and I'm really looking forward to getting these scar tissues broken down. I have one or two appointments a week for the next 4-6 weeks so looking forward to seeing some improvements.
