I've been working hard at it and last week I finally seen some real improvement. It was actually the Graston Technique (Breaks up scar tissue) performed by my massage therapist that had the best results. My flexion improved 12 degrees overnight, I was sore to the touch for a good 5-6 days but totally worth it. I have another appointment for more this Friday.
I see the surgeon next week so it will be interesting to see if he's happy with the progress or he's going to schedule the surgery to remove the scar tissue.
This injury is a tough one, I go to physio twice a week and RMT usually once a week on top of the exercises I do at home. I'm still limping although I can get around, grocery shopping ect...

I'm surprised your physio didn't do any manual therapy for scar tissue removal. IASTM is the shit. I gotta learn it haha.
But yeah, Keep moving your new if possible within ROM.
