Scar Tissue Therapy
Scars are the principle way the body knits itself together following injury or inflammation. For some individuals scars can pose a number of problems. If the scar is thick in texture or bound to underlying tissues, it may restrict movement, catch on clothing, cause irritation to the skin, create a local pulling sensation and can even result in local edema. Over time, scars will gradually become tight, rigid, inflexible and dense. Massage therapy treatment is designed to soften mobilize and release the scar from the underlying structures.
