Yes my PT has done myofacial (connective tissue) release around my core, low back, thighs, etc. She even taught my husband when I finally had to stop PT due to ins. This helped with SIJD and pelvic instability. Since it was hurting my hubby's back she now suggested I use the SKLZ Accuroller Massage stick on my thighs (front, back, and even the IT bands on the side). I restarted PT for a new case but I am nearing the end again so I need to keep things loose!

Yes, I tried it before surgery but it flared things up too much. It was helpful after surgery.

It depends on the PT if they are good or not , some only have basic skills , most of the time it is a lucky dip

How is it supposed to work and whats its purpose? Sounds like it doesnt help serious problems.

It is complex , it depends on the skill of the practioner , but what the treatment does , is releaseing the fascia , , it is the stuff that seperates the muscles , veins and nerves etc .if you google Myofascial trains,also Tom Myers, you can get some good info better than i can explain .Not sure if it can help serious problems again depends on the practioner and the problem.
