Does anyone get deep tissue massages on their scar sites in order to break up scar tissue and help prevent adhesions? If so would you need to go to a doctor to have this done or would any therapeutic massage parlor do this?

I would figure that this type of massage would be more in the range of a chiropractor, osteopahthic masseur, kinesitherapeut (sp?) or other medical practioner and not just a 'massage therapist'...not to denigrate their profession but anytime that someone is going to go deep into my tissues I want to make sure that they know exactly what they are doing.
We can be rather knotted up inside and I would hate to think what could happen with the wrong move.

After a series of obstructions eight months ago, I started to see a physical
therapist who specializes in a technique that breaks up scar tissue. This
required a doctors prescription and I have not had any obstructions since.
