Deep tissue massage is the way to break down the fibrous tissue known as "scar tissue" that occurs post injury/post operative. Also, make sure you rehabilitate the injury site through maintaining flexibility, muscle strength, and massage the injury site. Incorporating heat can help draw blood to the area which also speeds up recovery time.

A cross friction massage with a good cream lotion can help with it.
If it is major problem and is restricting your normal ROM you must consult your doctor to find solution for it.

Even if the scar tissue is removed, it will eventually regrow in the area, but you'll at least have relief for the time period between removal and regrowth.
