How Scar Therapy can help you
Reduce pain & discomfort
Scars can be painful, itchy and tight. Scar therapy specifically targets the fibrotic tissues that cause these symptoms, leading to reduced pain and discomfort.
Improve scar appearance
Fascial techniques can lead to visible improvements in the colour, texture and overall look of scars and surrounding tissues. Scars may become less raised and red.
Improve Mobility
Scar tissue and adhesions can restrict functional movement. Scar therapy aims to change the consistency of underlying adhesions to improve range of motion, ease & fluidity of our movement patterns.
Supports post op recovery
Scar therapy plays a crucial role in post-operative management as it assists with lymphatic drainage and swelling reduction. This minimises the development of adhesions and formation of excessive scar tissue.
Restore sensation
A combination of de-sensitisation techniques, massage and physical supports can create improved sensory connection with your scar.
Boost emotional wellbeing
Targeted input can improve the appearance and discomfort of scars, boosting your self esteem, functional independence and mental wellbeing.
Scar Therapy can support the treatment of
Post surgical scars
Including surgical incisions, skin grafts, skin and muscle flaps, and cosmetic surgeries. This includes scar work over metal pins & plates.
Wide spread/ stretched scars
These are often post-surgical or traumatic scars which have stretched over time. They can be caused by movement over a joint or delayed healing at the time or surgery/injury.
Cesarean scars
Following planned or emergency caesarian delivery.
Hypertrophic & Keloid scars
Hypertrophic scars are thick, raised linear scars within the original wound area. Keloid scars are raised, ridged and bumpy scars that extend outside of the original wound/ trauma site.
Trauma/burn & contracture scars
Longer healing time from burns/trauma can lead to more problematic & stubborn scar tissue formation.
Facial scars
Facial scars acquired through injury, surgery or burns, treated using inter-oral techniques. This includes head & neck scarring.
