No matter what the cause may be, scars can create a wide range of problems that only Scar Tissue Release Massage can resolve. Your scars can be an ever-present reminder of trauma or surgery. You might find them unsightly or painful (or both). And the tissue of your scar may have knotted, your nerves may be twinging where they are caught by the scar tissue, you may be sensitive to hot and cold, and you may struggle with movement of the muscles and tissue surrounding the scar.
Thankfully, in many cases, the Scar Tissue Release Technique can bring relief. This hands-on technique has been used for decades to help relieve the problems which scarring can cause, including restriction in mobility, circulation and lymph flow. The emotional benefits of this type of massage are enormous as you regain confidence in your own body and its movement and are able to recommence much-loved activities.
At Brisbane Livewell Clinic, our skilled Massage Therapist will lightly manipulate the scar tissue, separating the tissue strands to free trapped nerved endings, re-supply blood circulation and improved lymph drainage.
Where is Scar Tissue Massage from?
Originating from a dedicated professional in the management of musco-skeletal pain, using natural drug-free methods. As a Bowen Therapist, instructor and author, he realised that specific treatment for scar tissue had been overlooked. As the physical and emotional effects of scars on the human body can be serious, he developed this unique technique to specifically treat scar tissue. He now teaches this method internationally.
How Does Scar Tissue Release Massage Work?
The body forms scar tissue as a natural response to trauma when the skin is lacerated or stitched either by accident or as a result of surgery. Collagen is laid down during the repair process results in a thickened fibrous mass which can impede proper circulation. Often the area itches or burns and can be oversensitive. After treatment, the scar tissue will not revert back to its original state, however, some scars may not visually change at all, they may just feel better to touch and less painful.
Who can Benefit from Scar Tissue Release Therapy
Massage to release the tissue under and surrounding your scar is especially suited where you have:
- Undergone C-Section (Caesarian birth)
- A hyper-sensitive scar
- A visibly puckered, thick scar (including a keloid scar)
- Deep scarring with loss of muscle under and surrounding the scar and/or tissue wastage
Can I get Scar Tissue Massage to Release a New Scar?
Old scars react well to the Scar Tissue Massage Release treatment, whilst new scars must wait until all the healing has been completed (approximately 8 weeks).
