SCAR TISSUE REMODELING

A specialized scar tissue treatment that combines gentle, hands-on ScarWork with microcurrent point stimulation scar release therapy to restore movement, flow, and balance in the body. This approach uses intuitive touch to soften and integrate scar tissue into the fascia, reduce adhesions, and promote healing—resulting in visible improvements and lasting relief from restriction and discomfort.

A SCAR'S IMPACT

Even the smallest of scars can have an impact that ripples in effect throughout the entire body, including...

Functionality: Scars and adhesions can cause structures to stick together that should normally glide past each other. This can lead to a host of problems including changes in posture and gait that lead to improper muscle compensation patterns.
Discomfort: Scars can cause inflammation, numbness, and tightness that may pinch nerves or compress joints in the affected area and or surrounding tissues.
Energy levels: The presence of scar tissue may influence a person's energy levels due to its effect on the nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve.
Cellular changes: Scar tissue is different at a cellular level. It has a high proportion of collagen to elastin, making it more rigid and dense. Structurally it is less organized, often oriented in a zig-zag pattern which impedes proper blood supply, lymph flow, and energy flow.
Global impact: Due to the interconnected nature of the fascial system, even small scars can have far-reaching effects on the body's overall biotensegrity, potentially causing issues in seemingly unrelated areas.

ABOUT THE TREATMENT

A Scar Tissue treatment is always tailored to the clients presentation. While some sessions focus exclusively on the scar tissue, treatment often expands as interconnected local and distant tissues respond, revealing the body’s integrated response to trauma.

A treatment is 90 minutes, and for new clients we begin with an in depth intake conversation before working the tissue. It is an artistic treatment, never exactly the same, and always adapting techniques, utilizing different tools, pressures, and approaches to release the scar tissue.

This is a full body approach to scar tissue integration. A treatment addresses changes in not only the physical body, but the nervous system, and the emotional aspect of scars and trauma. Much of the light touch ScarWork used is energy work, so emotional releases are not uncommon, and often are an important part of resolving physical pain.

SCAR RELEASE THERAPY using
MICROCURRENT POINT STIMULATION

This technique involves the simultaneous application of a safe, low level electrical current to each side of the physical scar using a Dolphin Neurostim. The microcurrent helps to re-polarize the scar tissue, helping to reduce inflammation and allowing it to lay in a proper matrix so that flow of energy, fluid, lymph, blood, and nerve connectivity can resume. By reducing the scar tissue, it in turn releases the muscles and fascia that are causing pain.

SCARWORK

ScarWork is a light-touch, hands on approach to re-integrate scar tissue to the bodies continuous fascia matrix to restore proper movement, flow, and balance. The work is intuitive, guided by the body's response, and always adapted to the needs of the client. Whether working on new or old scars, the technique encourages rapid healing and lasting improvements in the body’s overall function.

FREQUENCY

All scars are unique and will respond differently to the treatment depending on many factors, however most people feel significant changes after one session. Treatments are indicated on roughly a monthly basis, as it is important to give the tissue and fascia time to reorganize between treatments.

It is highly recommended to reduce intense activity for 1-2 weeks after a treatment so that learned compensation patterns do not unwind the resets done during the session. Movement is wonderful, however leaning towards yoga, hiking, or swimming will improve the outcomes rather than high intensity gym workouts or weight lifting.

For some, scar tissue will feel resolved after just a couple sessions, but most continue to receive treatments, not only for the scar tissue itself, but to reset the compensation patterns that may have emerged as an outcome of the scar.
