Scars can be intimidating and often come with lots of big feels.

Overtime scars can lead to chronic pain, activate the body’s stress response, impaired circulation, fascial injuries, and restricted functional movements.

Are you struggling with:

• Neck, shoulder and back pain

• Altered sensation (numbness, tingling or hypersensitivity)

• Tightness or restricted mobility

• Poor digestive or bladder function

• Pelvic pain

• Reduced blood flow

• Recurring injuries

• Chronic swelling

Benefits

Scars can come with traumatic feelings and emotions which can activate the body’s stress response. This can impact how the body heals, creating tightness in the surrounding muscles or tissues and reduced circulation. Scar Therapy can improve the look and sensation of your scar, decrease tissue tightness, increase local blood flow, reduce pain and improve mobility.
