Scarring is a necessary process beautifully orchestrated by the body’s natural process of healing.
Studies have shown that manual therapy can aid the healing process and reduce complications and reduce restrictions in movement in and around scar tissue. Scar therapy can be helpful with new and mature scars. The Restore method focuses on a holistic approach to supporting and promoting recovery after surgery or trauma. If you are troubled by a scar that gives you pain, feels tight and restricts your movement or you are affected by cosmetic appearance (e.g. burn and mastectomy scars), you could benefit from scar therapy.
Scar Therapy can:
- Promote healthy scar tissue formation
- Reduce symptoms such as pain, itching, sensory dysfunction and reduced mobility.
- Reduce global symptoms such as changes to posture and gait, organ function changes which can occur as a result of adhesions forming between.
-Promote emotional wellbeing and acceptance.
