Decon Break - Range Of Motion Exercise To Prevent Scar Tissue Formation

Hey guys, I’ve constantly read that if you have an injury or bad P.I.’s or just need a deconditioning break, that you need to rest or take X amount of time off from P.E.

I may have something to add to this.

So I’ve been taking an exercise science class call injury prevention and treatment for my major and the professor was explaining how to treat injuries to tissue, like ligaments and tendons. First, get rid of the pain. 2nd, work range of motion! Then get back to building strength.

The reason for working range of motion is because after an injury, SCAR tissue begins to form at the injury. This is not good tissue for P.E. I’ve actually read posts from Firegoat about this along time ago, but nowhere else.

I see countless times the recommendation for a decon break of 2 weeks-6 months, but I never see Range of Motion exercise recommended during these decon breaks.

So I believe during your decon break, once any pain has subsided, you should always do some range of motion exercises.

Something as simple as this (10minutes total):
I would say warm up with shower head in one hand, and with the other hand, do pulls in each direction, plus rotaries (for 1 minute each)(VERY lightly)

Then take some conditioner and do EXTRA light jelq for 2 minutes.

Maybe 4 times a week.

Do this while keeping in mind, it is for RANGE OF MOTION to keep scar tissue from forming, not gains. Light.

Do you guys have anything to add to the Range Of Motion exercise?

This is just a little that I’ve learned, if anyone has anything to add, awesome!

Let’s recommend these light R.O.M (range of motion) exercise along with recommending decon breaks to prevent that nasty scar tissue from forming!

My chiropractor has a name for this scar tissue. It’s called “adhesions” and they are why you lose range of motion most, when they form in muscle groups. I had some in my shoulder from a martial arts accident and it was through manipulation that my shoulders became level again.

But, I didn’t think to apply this to PE. It’s a great idea, GoGreen!

Thanks ThoughtfulGold! I was sitting in class and was thinking wow this should be applied to my penis during a decon break ! Haha

Though, adhesions are more common directly after the injury session. So on longer breaks continued stretching likely wouldn’t serve the purpose outside of 4 weeks.

This is the same logic that is used with Phalloplasty and the use of an extender for several weeks after. To prevent poor healing and to guide the healing in question to a longer state. But decon typically isn’t from the level of injury that phalloplasty surgery is.

So there’s scale there, as well.

Hi,

I recommend daily massages in general and especially DFMs (deep friction massages) if one hurts the tunica. DFMs are meant to clean up tendons and ligaments to prevent improper healing, massages in all cases stimulate the regeneration. Passive rest for long periods of time is not advised to heal tendons and I suppose this applies to the tunica. Don’t immobilize your penis for more than 2 weeks, my .02$

Interesting, I believe ADS device on lightest settings would work well on decons and after there’s no pain from injury too? Personally I don’t use one, but I might consider getting it for my day off during 2 on 1 off routines.
