It's Treatment Tuesday
We offer so many different treatments at Bodyworks Hastings, we thought it might be a good idea to give you a little breakdown of each!
Next up is scar tissue massage.
Scar tissue can restrict movement, and it can continue to be painful long after injury. Sometimes the scar tissue is nowhere near the site of injury or incision: scars and healing are rarely linear... even if they may appear to be such on the surface!
Scar tissue massage allows the tissues to loosen, muscles to slide over one another again, and movement to become easier.
You can work on a scar from 6 weeks after surgery, and it’s never too late to work on scar tissue. Results can be seen and felt on scars 20 years old or more.
Often an area that has suffered trauma will be delicate to the touch. A lot of scar tissue work is gentle, slow, and careful. We work at your pace. Communication between the therapist and the client is key, as it enables us to monitor how you are reacting to the treatment and to adjust accordingly.
Scars are often psychological as well as physical. It is important to acknowledge this in the work, and to maintain a safe working space for the client. Clients who have received scar tissue massage describe improvements in sensitivity around the area, reintegration of the scar into the body, acknowledgement of the scar healing.
Caf trained in Scar Tissue Masterclass Massage with Jing in Brighton. Give your scar and your body the attention it needs, and book in for a half-hour or full hour session.
