I had this treatment and, yes, it is very painful, but the results are amazing. Hang in there. I had a total hip replacement resulting in permanent nerve damage. I felt as though a tight band around my thigh was the result of the implant being too small for my femur and my femur would eventually fracture. I had ASTYM treatments on the opposite side of my thigh which ended in releasing the band of tight tissue. Go for it - the pain is over as soon as the PT stops.
