Gentle Scar Therapy

Do you have a scar that causes you physical or emotional discomfort?

Gentle Scar Therapy can provide effective relief and help you feel like yourself again.

What is Gentle Scar Therapy?

Gentle Scar Therapy is a specialised treatment designed to alleviate the discomfort associated with scars. The aim of the treatment is to help integrate the scar into the body again, improving the feel of the scar tissue and function of surrounding structures. In turn it often helps with the appearance of the scar.

 Scars are much like icebergs—what you see on the surface is only a small part of what lies beneath.

Beneath the skin, your body is held together by a vast, continuous sheet of connective tissue known as fascia. This fascia, located between the skin and muscles, wraps around your entire body like a complex web, affecting everything from your organ systems to how your muscles and bones function.

Restriction in one area of your fascia can cause pulling, discomfort or dysfunction in other areas and organs of your body. Fortunately, fascia responds well to gentle care. This is how Gentle Scar Therapy can successfully improve the feel and function of scar tissue and your body as a whole.
All scars can be treated.

It doesn’t matter how big or small your scar is, where it is in your body or whether your scar is recent or many years old.

Does your scar cause:

  • Pulling or restriction

  • Lifestyle changes

  • Disruption to your usual activities

  • Emotional upset

  • Pain

  • Numbness

  • Discomfort

  • Itchiness

Your scar may also be associated with:

  • Pain in lower back and other areas

  • Reduced range of movement

  • Period pain or irregularity

  • Fertility issues

  • Bowel and digestive problems

Many patients experience positive results in just 1 to 3 treatments. This may include:

  • Less discomfort

  • Reduced numbness

  • Improved mobility

  • Relief from period pain and bowel upsets

  • Increased confidence with the appearance of their scar

What happens in your appointment?

Gentle Scar therapy is extremely gentle; the pressure used is no more than what you’d apply to your eyelid.

Your initial appointment will include a full consultation and assessment of your scar and its impact on you, (both physically and emotionally.)  Treatment will be explained to you and varies depending on your scar and how you are feeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We don’t treat until 6-8 weeks post-surgery. But there is no rush! Scars can be treated no matter their age, up to many years later.

  • Results vary from person to person and treatment to treatment. In most cases there is some immediate softening of the scar and surrounding tissue; improved range of movement; reduced discomfort or stiffness and a decrease in redness or raised areas of the scar.

  • Once again, this is case by case and depends on the symptoms you are feeling. You will feel very different with between 1- 6 treatments but an individual plan will take into account the impact of the scar, your choices and availability etc.

  • Any scars can be treated:  little or big, new or old, any type of scar, anywhere on the body.
