I don't think it applies. The protocol is for injuries to muscle belly tissue, and it rationale is to flood the damaged tissue with lots of blood, which speeds up the recovery, and during full ROM movements, which prevents the formation of too-short scars that will hinder muscle functioning once returning to training.
There's no new scar tissue to form in an old, settled injury, so I don't think the method will help. Also, the sort of pain you describe might not be due to a lesion in muscle-belly tissue at all.
Hope this helps,
