A dynamic method of breaking up fibrous adhesions or scar tissue in muscles is disclosed. The dynamic method results in the fibers replacing the scar tissue oriented longitudinally with respect to stress in the muscle, so that the muscle heals having improved function-flexibility, coordination and tensile strength. The method of comprises the steps of: locating fibrous adhesions in the muscle; and, applying and slidingly moving pressure along the length of the muscle over the fibrous adhesions therein to break down those adhesions. In a preferred aspect of this method the sliding movement along the length of the muscle coincides with body motion moving the muscle from a contracted to an elongated position so that the muscle is massaged in a repetitive cycle of body motion. If the step of injecting an anesthetic into the adhesions prior to massage is included then adhesion breakdown is promoted, and pain associated with adhesion breakdown is relieved.
