Scar Tissue Management (Treatment)
Therapy for troublesome scars
Service Description
Scars form when the soft tissue has been subjected to trauma. This could be an accident where an injury to the soft tissue occurred or due to surgery. Sometimes, the way that a scar forms and the way that the soft tissue heals can result in unpleasant symptoms. You may experience heightened sensitivity (or lack of sensitivity/numbness), reduced mobility in the soft tissue, causing restriction in normal movement and the scar may have become adhered to the underlying tissue. There is also a psychological impact and it may be that the way you relate to that part of your body has changed. Scar tissue management looks at you as a whole person. In treatment, I will use a variety of soft tissue techniques that a suitable for the stage of tissue healing you're at. We will usually start working around the scar before working on the scar itself, but this is dependent upon the age and stage of tissue healing of the scar. I'll also teach you techniques you can use yourself at home and we'll work on improving your relationship with the part of your body that has experienced trauma. Important: As a therapist I will not use harsh techniques to try to break up the scar tissue. The aim of this therapy isn't to eliminate scarring (as this isn't possible), but to improve functionality and overall wellbeing.
