ScarWork Therapy

ScarWork Therapy

Scar or wound healing is a complex process the body goes through to repair damaged skin and underlying layers.  Though the repair process is highly technical and amazing the healing process is not always as good as the patient wants it to be.  A scar can cause both physical and emotional symptoms long after it appeared.  It is important to understand that whilst a scar is repairing other mechanical forces have an impact on the scar formation.  It is often the case that a patient will develop compensation patterns and pain in other parts of the body.

ScarWork addresses the scar tissue, and by using light techniques can help bring elasticity and a softness to the area to allow changes to take place.  The treatment is casual and relaxed and should not be painful.  

Many patients feedback that it is the first time the scar has been touched or had any attention.
