renewing old shrubs

Like the kolkwitzia owner, I'm interested in any suggestions for getting
at the old wood in the middle of a large overgrown shrub.  We have a
truly venerable clump of mockorange, and I dispair of being able to
clean it oout and thin the middle - it's 4' across and so thickly wooded
that there is literally no room to work inside the outer ring of woody
stems.  I suspect that it was cut to the ground 20 years ago and came up
as thick as the bristles on a porcupine from the roots after that - and
now it's 20 years later and you can't squeeze a knife between the stems,
much less a saw or pruners.
