Assuming the problem is only occasional and directly related to exercise, in this case squatting, is there any objective evidence therapys like *deep tissue massage massage around the LCL, ACL and patella tendon have any value in terms of pain relief or healing a minor tendon / ligament a strain?
*In this case, DIY massage stick and possibly a sliced up bicycle inner tube version of voodo floss.
On reflection, I’d imagine would mean something involving a large research grant and a whole bunch of people with jumpers knee holding rubber bands / massage sticks queued up at the MRI machine for starters… So yeah, probably not…
Put it this way, in your professional opinion / experience, do these treatments offer any advantage over just letting the injury heal by itself?
