ONCOLOGY SCAR THERAPY
For some people their scar may leave them feeling tight or uncomfortale. Other people may not notice any physical discomfort but could still benefit from therapy as part of their rehabilitation.
SCAR THERAPY can:
Release tightness: Loosens tight scar tissue to reduce discomfort.
Helps increase mobility: Encourages mobility between the layers of skin, fascia and muscle to improve range of movement.
Reduce sensitivity & pain: Trapped nerves and irritated scar tissue can lead to prolonged discomfort. Scar work may reduce pain and help reduce the area's hypersensitivity.
Deep Oscillation is a gentle vibration therapy that is relaxing and pain free, and known for its scar benefits, including reduction of swelling and inflammation, pain relief, improved mobility and promotion of wound healing.
Lymphatouch provides targeted negative pressure that may help release tightness and accelerate healing.
Gentle manual work as well as Oscillation Therapy and Lymphatouch may be used to aid scar release, depending on the client's needs and wishes.
All scar work is gentle.
ONCOLOGY SCARS If you have been treated for cancer, then you know that scar tissue from surgery, radiation, ports and drain tubes can cause chronic pain and restriction, not just at the site of the scar, but the entire surrounding area.
The aim is to focus on reducing any issues related to surgery or radiotherapy.
