MORE INFORMATIOn

Scar tissue can affect much more than just the surface of the skin. Underneath adhesions can form, fascia, skin and muscle can become bound or anchored together. This can restrict normal movement causing tightness, pulling or tension not only in the scar itself, but to the surrounding areas. These restrictions may also affect nearby joints or muscle groups, leading to discomfort or compensation patterns elsewhere in the body.

In some cases, scar tissue may also impact the nerves in or around the area, resulting in altered sensation such as numbness, tingling, oversensitivity, or nerve-related pain. Scar massage helps by gently working through both superficial and deeper layers to reduce adhesions, improve movement between tissues, and calm nerve sensitivity or dysfunction.

Scar therapy is suitable for people of all ages and stages of recovery, whether your scar is recent or has been present for many years, with time and consistency scar therapy treatment can make a real difference.
