Scar tissue

Scar tissue and adhesions occur internally as a part of your body’s natural healing process, but you may find that they restrict your life in some way. From pain and limited mobility to sleep disturbances and anxiety, this tissue can impact your well-being and disrupt many aspects of your life.

Your scar tissue represents your past, but it doesn’t have to determine your future.

Scar tissue treatment

Knowledge: the first step forward

It’s important to understand your scar tissue and adhesions to find the best treatments for your specific needs. Let us walk you through your body’s healing process so you can make informed decisions for the journey ahead.

What is scar tissue?

Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that have replaced normal skin or other tissue as a part of your body’s wound repair process. Scar tissue is never as functional as the original tissue it has replaced. With the exception of minor lesions, every wound (both internal and external) results in some degree of scarring.

What are adhesions?

Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that anchor and support your wounds, binding all tissue it comes into contact with together. Adhesions will form whenever there is inflammation in your body. Although adhesions can occur anywhere, the most common locations are within the stomach, pelvis, and heart.

The importance of scar tissue release therapy

As you may have experienced, scars and the issues they cause are often overlooked by health professionals. The physiological effects of scars have never been properly acknowledged and incorporated into the recovery process.

As scar tissue release practitioners, we know that the slightest restriction in the elaborate matrix of fascia can have major repercussions from one end of your body to the other. Here are a few of the ways this tissue can impact your recovery process.

• Whether a scar is from a minor childhood accident or a major surgery, it can have a lifelong effect both physically and mentally.

• Scar tissue has the potential to spread in any direction, including internally throughout your body.

• Scar tissue can restrict movement or function anywhere in your body, from joints to organs.

Treating scar tissue is extraordinarily simple to learn, easy to apply, and yields powerful results that can prevent a lifetime of compensation, complications, and pain.

A holistic approach

We don’t know what amazes us more, the body’s rapid response to scar tissue release therapy, or the shock on our patients’ faces when their bodies are freed from restrictions and pain. The one thing we do know is that the time has come for the public to understand the effects of scar tissue and adhesions.

Modern science is starting to recognize the importance of fascia and the effects of scar tissue on the body. We hope these advancements will bring Scar Tissue Release to the forefront of therapy and rehabilitation so we can help patients like you receive the treatment they deserve.
