Scar Therapy: More Than Skin Deep
Scars tell stories. They should not hold you back.
Scar therapy is a gentle, non-invasive form of physical therapy used to work with scars, fibrosis and adhesions — whether from surgery, injury or burns.
Our bodies are incredible at healing, but sometimes the way we heal can affect how we move, feel, and even relate to our own bodies.
Scars can cause tightness, discomfort or restriction — and they may carry an emotional story too, whether from a planned cosmetic procedure or an unexpected event like emergency surgery.
Scar therapy aims to support both the physical and emotional impact of scars.
Scar therapy may help with
Pain, tightness, sensitivity or numbness around the scar
Pulling, puckering or restriction in movement
Fibrosis (for example after liposuction) or underlying adhesions
Aesthetic concerns such as uneven texture or discolouration
Reconnecting with the scar, especially when trauma or body confidence is involved
Common scars I work with
Post-cancer surgeries (for example mastectomy, lumpectomy, cording, DIEP/TRAM/TMG reconstruction)
Cosmetic procedures (for example abdominoplasty, breast surgery, brachioplasty, facial rejuvenation surgery and nasal surgery/rhinoplasty)
Orthopaedic surgeries (for example hip or knee replacements)
C-sections and other abdominal surgeries
Burns or traumatic injuries
Spinal, cardiac and transplant scars
Oral and facial surgeries
Both newer and older scars — changes may still be possible, even years later
Scars I do not treat directly
Keloid scars (although work can often be done around them)
Stretch marks
Acne scarring
