Hi,
There is something called "myofascial release" physical therapy. I was able to get PT where the therapist had gone through extensive training in this. (John Barnes in Sedona, AZ, is one of the originators of this technique) It has made a difference in the neck fibrosis I've experienced, as I can somewhat copy what the therapist did with my neck. Doesn't cure it permanently, just a management technique I guess you'd say. I am not sure if "myofascial release" differs much from "active release", which I've seen mentioned on OC forum. Someone else can speak to that perhaps.
