Emma’s story
Emma Holly has one of the UK’s leading ScarWork clinics and now offers training to physiotherapists and other physical bodywork professionals, in this specialised gentle but effective therapy for scar tissue and adhesions.
As skin is healing after an operation or accident, different layers under the skin get stuck together as the body works to close and heal the wound. ScarWork helps gently release these stuck layers to allow better function and movement in the scar tissue and surrounding fascial tissue, muscles and ligaments.
Originator of these unique technique to improve scars from surgery or accidents is Sharon Wheeler, a therapist from Seattle USA. ScarWork has been developed over many years, to improve the condition and integration of scar tissue and promote healing. You may not have heard of it as only been established in the UK for a short time, so only a few therapists are offering these specialised scar treatments.
Emma was highly commended complementary therapist of the year by one of the UK’s largest therapy associations FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) and has had continued coverage in national and local press and professional journals for her business.
