Scar tissue relief
Scar tissue is formed as part of the body’s healing process. The density of scar tissue is much greater than other areas of tissue - these tissues can become adhered and stick to each other, as well as adhering to bony landmarks. This can result in pain, discomfort, fertility issues and in some cases a patient’s internal organs (urinary, reproductive and digestive system) may be adversely affected by scar tissue. The techniques I use treat the elastin and collagenous component of the scar tissue, allowing the tissue to release, re-align and re-hydrate. The techniques I use are mostly light and gentle with the aim of reducing pain, improving function, condition, facilitating integration of the scar tissue and works with the physical and emotional component of the scar. These brilliant techniques will enable me to treat adhesions and scar tissue however old they may be.
It is never too late to start healing a scar

Restrictions form whenever our body's tissue is damaged through:
Cuts
Falls: big or small and even as a child
Impact: sports, accidents e.g., Car crash
Surgeries: any type of surgery (even minor) can upset the body’s normal environment and create scar tissue far beyond the incision site. Dehydration of tissues also takes place during surgery
Tears: muscles, ligaments, and tendons
Inflammation: from pathogens, illness, radiation
Repetitive movement: collagen fibres laid down as a protective response
Postural imbalance: as we compensate more collagen fibres are laid down along lines of stress imposed
Possible effects of scar tissue on the system:
Pain and restriction
Affect underlying structures and organs and therefore restrict internal function
Affect nerve function causing numbness, pain and sensitivity
Affect movements of fluids through the body (lymph, blood Etc.)
Restrict movement of the surrounding tissues and organs
Unsightly
