Dani is a qualified Gentle Scar Therapy Practitioner, which is a specialised manual therapy treatment to help any type of scar. By using specific gentle techniques, the body’s own healing properties kick into action. These techniques aid to restore healthy movement patterns and aid in reducing pain by stimulating the blood, nutrient and lymphatic flow into circulation, promoting healing of any damaged tissues and fascia. This results in softening of the scar tissue, and surrounding fascia.
This type of treatment would be relevant for ANY type of scar but particularly for those that may still cause symptoms. This may feel like: numb, sensitive, itchy, pulling, tight uncomfortable or swollen. They may also look like: redness, dehydrated skin, different textures along the scar line, rasied or dippped area, pigmentation or puffiness.
Light touch techniques are less likely to trigger neurogenic inflammation, reducing the risk of further scar tissue development. By focusing on gentle, precise movements, Gentle Scar Therapy can help restore mobility and function without exacerbating scar tissue formation and minimize the development of adhesions, improving patient outcomes.
Gentle Scar Therapy is very relaxing and calming and can effect scars that are completely healed or much older scars and will still have a positive impact. If you are not sure whether this treatment would be suitable for you, then feel free to contact us via email and Dani will respond to your inquiry.
