OK, makes perfect sense with the normal repair mechanisms in the body (fibroblast/collagen deposition, etc.).

The gluteus minimus is keep to postural stability and is one of the key muscles that undergoes atrophy in spine patients. I've been doing a lot of exercises to stabilize the "dirty dozen" muscles that afflict spine patients.

What are your concerns about US in the area? Is the scaring causing stasis of blood?

Good luck Rob.
